Examines how language is used in real time, and how its use reveals how it is represented in the mind and the brain.

Restriction: Graduate students only.

Examines how bilingualism interfaces with language representation, language use, and language development.

Restriction: Graduate students only.

Examines how heritage languages are represented in speakers' minds, processed in real time, and acquired.

Restriction: Graduate students only.

Focuses on native language learning, exploring the way in which infants and very young children unconsciously uncover the rich systematic knowledge of their native language. Examines both experimental and computational studies that quantitatively investigate the "how" of language acquisition.

Restriction: Graduate students only.

Focuses on different types of atypical acquisition, including acquisition in special populations and acquisition under atypical circumstances. Research techniques discussed include theoretical, experimental, and computational methods.

Restriction: Graduate students only.

Concurrent with LSCI 151A.

Focuses on synthesizing research literature related to computational cognitive models of language acquisition. Students develop their abilities to discuss key concepts and background assumptions, clearly present major points and findings, and concisely summarize literature from a particular perspective.

Restriction: Graduate students only.

Focuses on experimental methods useful for language research. Students become familiar with software and programming languages used for implementing and analyzing behavioral experiments.

Restriction: Graduate students only.

Topics in Psycholinguistics. May be repeated for credit as topic varies.

Repeatability: Unlimited as topics vary.

Restriction: Graduate students only.

Focuses on models of language change, acquisition, and complexity, looking at the connections between them to explain empirical data relating to the form of existing languages and how languages change over time. Emphasis is placed on computational and mathematical models.
