Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The major aim of this methodologically focused introductory seminar is to give detailed insights about how a specific research technique, eye-tracking, can be used for a deeper understanding of linguistic, communicative and some related cognitive processes. Eye-tracking (or
gaze-tracking) is an innovative, fast developing research technology that has gained much significance in psycholinguistics, and experimental studies on communication and cognition in the last decade(s). In the course, foundations and key variants of this research technique will be discussed first in a detailed way. Then we shall turn to a few specific psycholinguistic issues to demonstrate the use of this research technology. These specific issues will include, among others, lexical access, sentence integration, pragmatic inferences, their relation to intentional communication and cognition; atypical language, communication and cognition (primarily, but not only, in autism).

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

For credit, students are required beyond active participation to give at least one detailed presentation and submit a written summary of this presentation or to write an extensive term paper (on a previously fixed, well-focused topic, closely related to the subject of the course).
