LING 442 - Experimental Field Methods

Credits: (4)
Prerequisite(s): LING 220 and (LING 358/PSYC 358 or LING 370/PSYC 370)
College Curriculum: COLL 400
In this course, students learn how to design, conduct, analyze, and present experiments on the acquisition and processing of human language. We will first identify a research topic of common interest, which will become the focus of the course. We will then conduct a replication of a published experiment on our research topic to gain hands-on experience in experiment design, data collection, and data analysis. Students will then design and conduct an original experiment that extends the replication study in a novel direction.
