Overview

This course is a graduate-level introduction to computational psycholinguistics. The schedule of topics and labs are designed to give you a broad overview of how computational modeling can be used to formalize and answer various questions about human language. We will examine computational models across a broad range of frameworks, psycholinguistic tasks/applications, and empirical domains. The labs are designed to give you hands-on experience designing and applying psycholinguistic models that address fundamental questions about how human language is represented, processed, and learned.
