Biography

Jing Shen is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at 澳门六合彩官网. She received her PhD听in experimental psychology from University of California, San Diego, and had her postdoctoral training in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Northwestern University. Dr. Shen is a member of the American Auditory Society and the听American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Her research has been supported by National Institute of听Deafness and Communication Disorders.

Dr. Shen directs the Speech Perception and Cognition (SPAC) Lab at 澳门六合彩官网. The work of the lab is motivated by the overarching goal of improving speech communication ability听in听older adults. A common complaint from many older adults is difficulty in perceiving speech under adverse conditions, such as in noisy environments and/or group conversations. The research in SPAC Lab addresses this problem based on multiple lines of projects:

  • Perceptual mechanisms in older听adults鈥� speech perception under adverse conditions听and the variability across individual listeners
  • Speech perception outcome measures听that听capture online processing of speech听in realistic communication scenarios
  • Interplay听between hearing loss and cognitive difficulty in the aging cohort and its impact on听clinical services
