To get acquainted with psycholinguistic experimentation.
|
|
This course aims to provide insight into psycholinguistic experimentation by carrying out a psycholinguistic experiment. The course consists of the following parts:
1. Theoretical background: rationale of measuring in psycholinguistic research, experimental design, theoretical/linguistic background of the hypothesis to be tested.
2. Preparation: Creating stimulus materials, implementing the experiment.
3. Piloting/running the experiment.
4. Analysis of the results.
5. Reporting the results.
The experimental work is carried out in groups (2-4 per group). Hands-on approach, with room for reflection on theoretical issues as we go along.
NB: The group work in this course will take about 10 hours a week, takes place during lab opening hours, and is scheduled by the group members themselves (2-4 students per group). Make sure that you have enough room in your schedule to accommodate this (obligatory) group work. If your availability is too limited to meet with your group (for instance due to work, travel, other obligations), you cannot participate in this course.
Career orientation:
Allows students to determine whether experimental lab work suits them.
