Course Description
Advanced Psycholinguistics continues many of the themes considered in Introduction to Psycholinguistics, with an emphasis on experimental and theoretical investigations on sentence processing. Topics will include processing models that deal with rapid incremental parsing, memory encoding and retrieval mechanisms, as well as pragmatic reasoning in context and between interlocutors. We will cover findings from a wide range of behavioral, neurophysiological and computational methods. Students will gain an appreciation for the complexity involved in drawing inferences about representations and processes.
