The Scientific Learning Corporation is looking for a Ph.D. - level reading research specialist capable of designing and overseeing research projects relating to the perceptual and cognitive aspects of learning to read in reading impaired and in normal children and adults . Running like an ugly stain through many of these master plots - and , perhaps , in a subtle way underlying all of them-is the image of blindness as dehumanization , a kind of banishment from the world of normal life and relationships . Data from over 15,000 evaluations from normal children and adults and from large populations of psychiatric / neurological and cognitively impaired patients exists in the BRL database . For the listeners with hearing impairments , there is a wide range of localization accuracy , with some listeners performing comparably to the listeners with normal hearing and others performing much worse . Outsourced operations are far better equipped to handle the normal peaks and valleys associated with help desk management . The activities of the Year of Public Engagement will be directed toward two general levels of effort : ( 1 ) engagement , outreach , and service activities conducted within the normal activities and pursuits of the University ’ s mission , including teaching and research as well as service ; and ( 2 ) engagement , outreach , and service activities conducted outside of the University ’ s normal duties and professional pursuits , including philanthropic and volunteer activities conducted by individuals and groups of faculty , staff , and students , as well as by units and organizations . Regarding the latter point , there are now numerous studies that have observed astonishingly parallel patterns of language processing behavior by children acquiring their first language , normal children and adults under stressful processing conditions , and / or adults with acquired language disorders ( Bates ; Crain ; Kolk ; Ullman ) . His research involves both experimental studies of several populations ( e.g ., normal children and adults ; dyslexics ) and the development of large-scale neural network models of normal and disordered behavior .
