Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide basic orientation in several dimensions of investigating the relation between language and human cognition: history of the discipline, main topics of psycholonguistic research, preferred approaches to solving basic questions and concrete analyses of selected problems. Students will be offered research models which address the issue of language and communication by posing questions related to the nature of their representation in human mind (and thus constitute an alternative/complement to traditional linguistic descriptions).
Students can navigate basic topics, theories and terminology of contemporary and experimental psycholinguistics. They understand the principles of experiment construction and possess basic knowledge of its evaluation and interpretation. They are able to propose a meaningful and context-aware project. They have learned to work with experiment-oriented tools (software, testing batteries).
Prerequisites
Basic reading knowledge of English.
