The goal of the course is to introduce the students to the basic concepts in psycholinguistics as part of cognitive science and to provide for a basic understanding of how to design a theory based psycholinguistic experiment.
Inhoud
Psycholinguistics studies the psychological and neurobiological factors that enable humans to comprehend, produce and use language. The topics include an introduction to the computational theory of mind, basic notions of neuroscience, the organization of the brain with a specific focus on the language related networks, as well as discussion of language production, comprehension and impairment. Students will also be introduced to the basics of experimental design in psycholinguistic experimentation and will participate (in groups) in designing a possible experiment, proceeding from formulating the research questions, hypothesis, method, analyses of the results and potential conclusions.
