Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course provides a practical introduction to the development of psycholinguistic experiments that do not require expensive equipment but can nevertheless yield results that address important questions of language representation and processing in the mind. The course will introduce the underlying reasoning behind the dominantmethods used in behavioural psycholinguistic research. The course will also familiarize the student with the uses of less common experimentaltasks and will provide practical training in how to modify and combine existing techniquesto build simple, but powerful experiments.
In this course, the student will be actively and practically engaged in the development of a psycholinguistic experiment from the first stage of question development through to the last stage of data analysis.
No prior background in statistics or research methods is assumed.

Assessment and permitted materials

Student progress will be evaluated through written examinations and a research proposal. Examinations will include a variety of assessment types (e.g., terminology, short essay, short answer).
The research proposal will enable the student to refine a research topic, to design experimental psycholinguistic research that contributes to knowledge in that topic area, and to receive feedback that can inform the student’s future research.
Students will be free to write research proposals in either German or English.
