200100 SE Seminar in Applied Psychology: Mind and Brain (2021S)

This course will give an introduction to fundamental properties of language, along with processes involved in producing and understanding it. You will gain insight into speech production mechanisms (from encoding of a preverbal message to its articulation), theoretical and implemented models of speech perception, all the way to word and sentence processing. We will also touch on topics such as bilingualism and non-literal language processing. Empirical research is the focus of the seminar and throughout the course you will come across different psycholinguistic methods that researchers applied to elucidate the above processes (response-time based tasks, reading and eye-tracking, neuroimaging methods). Reading scientific experimental research articles in preparation of each session will be mandatory, since the sessions' content builds on the findings.

The course will take place on the given dates/times above online via Zoom (link posted in the Moodle course).
