Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar is a practical introduction to quantitative data analysis methods commonly used in experimental psycho- and neurolinguistics. We will cover the basics of both descriptive and inferential statistics with a strong focus on practical application with real exemplary data.
You will learn to identify relevant variables of interest in typical experimental paradigms, to descriptively analyze and plot the resulting data, and to choose and apply appropriate tests for statistical inference.
The aim of this seminar is firstly to enable you to better understand quantitative results as reported in published psycho- and neurolinguistics papers; and secondly to provide you with the knowledge and tools necessary for your own quantitative analyses, e.g. in case you aim to collect experimental data in your thesis.

In class, we will be using the open-source software R and a number of R packages. If possible, please bring a laptop and download and install R (https://cran.r-project.org/) before the first session.

Please note that this seminar will likely not be held weekly, but in blocks. We will agree upon the specific dates and times of the remaining sessions in the first session and I will do my best to accommodate all attendees.

The seminar will be held in English.

Assessment and permitted materials

You will be asked to apply the skills acquired throughout the seminar in a small practical data analysis assignment, for which you will supply both results and your analysis code.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Attendance is mandatory (2 unexcused absences max.). Active participation in class in encouraged and will be valued positively. The final grade is 100% based on performance on the final assignment.

Examination topics

Relevant books chapters and papers will be supplied on Moodle over the course of the seminar.
