Join Little Falls Village for Auditory Learning &amp; The Effects of Hearing Loss on the Brain, Learning and Memory with Professor Dan Sanes and Professor Beverly Wright.<br /><br />Dan Sanes is Professor in the Center for Neural Science and Department of Biology at New York University. He is a leading researcher in the study of hearing loss during development. His studies have shown how early hearing loss affects brain development and how the developmental deficits caused by deafness might be reversed.<br /><br />Beverly Wright is a Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and Director of the Hughes Knowles Center, Northwestern University School of Communication. Wright and her students explore the general principles of auditory learning, a process that leads to improvements in perceptual skills. Her research also focuses on how learning changes with age, sensory experience (hearing loss), and cognitive background (e.g., language and reading disorders). Research on perceptual learning may lead to more effective training strategies for enhancing normal perceptual capacities and treating perceptual disorders.<br /><br />This program is free and open to all and is presented by Little Falls Village in partnership with the Little Falls Library of Montgomery County Public Libraries.<br /><br />Registration is required at least a day prior to the event. Please register at www.littlefallsvillage.org/AuditoryLearning or by calling the Little Falls Village office at 301-320-3267.
