Outline and objectives

This course will cover the basic notions of psycholinguistics – how languages are acquired, learnt, used, and understood in daily situations. It primarily focuses on human speech communication - how auditory and visual information is processed and integrated in the human brain. We will explore research findings in linguistics, acoustics, psychology, and neuroscience.

Goal

There are three main goals:
(1) Students understand the basic structures of language.
(2) Students understand communication strategies including auditory and optical illusion.
(3) Students understand the basic brain structure and functions for human speech communication.

Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?

Will be able to gain “DP 2” and “DP 4”.

Default language used in class

英語 / English

Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )
