Aim of the course -

Students attending this course will be introduced to the main features of experimental psycholinguistic research and will be trained in performing a reaction time experiment with the software "Psychopy". The course will consist of the following stages:

  1. Training with the software Psychopy.
  2. Finding a topic of interest and then a gap in the psycholinguistic literature on that topic. 
  3. Deciding the methodology to be used to fill this gap and then creating an experiment. 
  4. Creation of the task.
  5. Pilot testing

The teacher will closely follow the students in all the stages of the project. Most of the work will be conducted during class-time. Each phase will last approximately two seminars.
