Psycholinguistics (CBS3402) – Spring 2026

(Course content organized by Eric Pelzl; heavily indebted to Stephen Politzer-Ahles who shared his original course materials)

Overview

This site will contain most of the course content for CBS3402 Psycholinguistics. Each week, the site will be updated with readings and activities that you should complete before the next class period. However, some content is already available in case you're interested to get going.

• Modules. The class content will be divided into modules (basically units or sections). This is an active class; a module consists not just of readings or lectures, but also of activities that you must complete. Some modules are broken into multiple steps, such that later steps are intended to be "unlocked" after you submit your results from doing the earlier tasks. Here's the schedule of the modules for the class. They will become 'active' as the site is updated each week.
