SummaryThis course introduces the intellectual discipline of experimental psycholinguistics. Surveying central topics in normal adult language behaviour, the course shows how models and experimental methods are used to explore those swift, invisible processes which make us fluent users of language.

Formative feedback event available:
- Week 5 will be devoted to the topics of "Choosing an experimental method" and "Choosing a statistical method", which will involve discussions of how to design experiments to investigate specific sample research questions. This will be relevant to the assessed experimental design exercise which constitutes 25% of the course mark.
