Research Interests: Susan Nittrouer's research interests focus on how children acquire the abilities to recognize the phonetic-level structure of their native language and to produce speech with the gestural organization typical of their native language, what role the ability to recognize phonetic-level structure in the acoustic signal of one's native language plays in language processing, what conditions of childhood support the ontogeny of these skills, and precisely how perceptual processing of the speech signal is affected by deleterious conditions such as poverty, frequent otitis media with effusion, and sensorineural hearing loss.
