Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Goals:
- To extend and deepen understanding of experimental research in psycholinguistics (e.g., formulation of hypotheses, design of experiments, data analysis).
- To develop practical skills in analyzing psycholinguistic data (using JASP and/or R).
- To improve the techniques of scientific presentations and discussions.

Content:
This course will explore selected topics in psycholinguistics, with a focus on understanding the formulation of hypotheses, experimental design, and data analysis. Students are encouraged to propose their own topics, including those they may wish to extend in their master's thesis.

Methods:
The course will utilize oral presentations (elevator pitch, poster presentation), discussions, and three homework assignments.

Assessment and permitted materials

The evaluation will include an individual, ultra-short presentation of the chosen research topic (elevator pitch; 3 minutes), three written homework assignments (to practice data analysis), group work (discussions in the class and in small groups), and individual or paired poster presentations (10 to 15 minutes + discussion).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Some background in psycholinguistics is assumed. Solid knowledge of English is necessary (the course will either be held in English or German, depending on the needs of the group).
Attendance in the seminar is required, with two absences tolerated. All assignments must be submitted.

Grading:
Participation (in class, on Moodle): 25 points.
Elevator pitch: 15 points.
Homework assignments: 20 points in total.
Poster presentation: 40 points.

Grades will be assigned according to standard scoring:
100 - 87 points: 1
86 - 75 points: 2
74 - 63 points: 3
62 - 50 points: 4
49 - 0 points: 5
