Dr.
Lynne Werner completes her 100th lap, for 112 miles, at
the Olander Park 24-hour National Championships in September
1999. She eventually completed 116 miles, the second woman
finisher.

form, then, constant or variable, is not transmitted in
genes any more than it is contained in the environment,
and it cannot be partitioned by degrees of coding or by
amounts of information. It is constructed in developmental
processes."

Dr.
Lynne A. Werner has been a member of the faculty at the
University of Washington since 1986. She held faculty
positions at Virginia Commonwealth University and the
University of Virginia prior to coming to Washington.
She
received her Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology at Loyola
University of Chicago.
Dr.
Werner developed the first successful method for measuring
behavioral sensitivity to sound in infants as young as
1 month of age. The results of this work have shown that
hearing development is affected not only by the development
of the ear and auditory nervous system, but also by the
development of higher level processes such as attention.
The implications of the work extend from understanding
and remediating the effects of early hearing impairment,
to understanding the development of speech perception,
to understanding mature hearing.
Dr. Werner
is responsible
for teaching several courses, including:
