 DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY
 I wish to call to your attention the availability of PRE-
and POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS that we have through our NIH Train-
ing Grant on the "Development of Spoken Language Capacities".
The training grant provides support for individuals who have in-
terests in the development of speech production and perception.
Our training program is an interdisciplinary one involving the
participation of the departments of Psychology, Lingusitics, Com-
municative Disorders and Sciences, and Neurology and Pediatrics.
Pre-doctoral trainees will receive graduate degrees from one of
the cooperating departments and will participate in a specialized
training program. The training program emphasizes the use of
computerized laboratories so that trainees acquire competence in
the development of speech perception and production, the anatomy
and physiology of the auditory system, neurophysiological corre-
lates of speech processes, articulatory and acoustic phonetics,
phonology, and developmental disorders of speech processes.
Trainees are expected to conduct original experimental research
related to these topics in one or more of the laboratories of the
core faculty. In addition, training will consist of participa-
tion in interdisciplinary seminars and research meetings and for-
mal coursework (as necessary) in Psychology, Communicative
Disorders, Cognitive Science, and Linguistics.
 The core faculy participating in this program include:
Peter W. Jusczyk, Program Director, Department of Psychology
Jan Charles-Luce, Departments of Communicative Disorders and Sciences
 and Linguistics
LouAnn Gerken, Department of Psychology
Donald Henderson, Department of Communicative Disorders and Sciences
Jeri Jaeger, Department of Linguistics
