Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The goal of this course is to offer students
(a) an introduction to psycholinguistics from the perspective of the researcher.
(b) An in-depth treatment of the frequency effect, an effect that is a staple of experimental design, but whose underlying nature remains unclear.
(c) an in-depth analysis of key psycholinguistic techniques.
(d) Skills in the design, execution, interpretation, presentation, and write-up of psycholinguistic experiments.

(1) the analysis of a core phenomenon in psycholinguistic research.
(2) the analysis of core methods in psycholinguistic research.
The phenomenon that we will explore will be the frequency effect. We will concentrate on frequency effects in lexical processing but also consider frequency effects more generally in the context of language processing and human cognition.
In our analysis of methods in psycholinguistic investigations, we will concentrate on online investigative techniques such as lexical decision, priming, naming, eye-tracking, and ERP. We will discuss the rationale behind the techniques, their strengths and limitations, and the types of data analyses that are most profitably associated with each.
Students will develop hands-on facility in designing, conducting, and analyzing psycholinguistic experiments by developing, as a major term project, an experiment that investigates the frequency effect or employs frequency manipulations to probe a language processing phenomenon.
