Inhoud

 

This course aims to introduce students to the relevant terminology pertaining to the domain of psycholinguistic research (including paradigms, models, experimental research techniques). Within psycholinguistic research, a range of speech and language disorders (in children and adults) are covered, to which these models and concepts are directly relevant. The students will gain insights in (a) the psychological/cognitive processes that are at the basis of generating speech and language, and (b) the anatomical areas of the brain involved in these processes. 

Bijkomende info

Guest professors/speakers may be invited to give a lecture.

Extra-muros activities can be possible (mentioned on time, in class)

Algemene competenties

The students know and can define (a) all theoretical concepts related to psycholinguistic research (e.g., models and/or experimental paradigms and techniques), and (b) speech and language disorders covered in the context of the course.

 

The students know, and are able to locate, the different areas of the brain that are relevant to the processing of speech and language, including those areas relevant to the discussed speech and language disorders. 

 

The students should be able to apply the discussed psycholinguistic models to explain speech and language disorders. 

 

The students recognize the different types of psycholinguistic research methods and paradigms when incorporated into peer-reviewed articles.

 

The students are able to find research on a specific theme related to the speech and language disorders covered in the course. The students can report on their insights and findings based upon a systematic literature review in the form of a scientific paper, written in an appropriate register of a standard variety of English and with an accurate use of the acquired terminology.

 

The students are able to report on their research findings in the form of an oral presentation.

Beoordelingsinformatie

De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:

WPO Praktijkopdracht bepaalt 25% van het eindcijfer

Aanvullende info mbt evaluatie

Final mark = 75% Theory (HOC) + 25% Practical assignment (WPO).  

A pass mark is awarded if the end score comprising of the sum the weighed scores of the two components (75% oral exam+ 25% practical assignment) is equal to or above 10/20. Students who failed one of the two components but who got a final mark 10/20, will not be allowed to take the failed exam component again.

 

If a student does not participate in all of the evaluation criteria of the course (HOC/WPO), the student will be marked “absent” for the course as a whole.

 

Late submissions of papers will *not* be accepted. All deadlines hold for both digital as well as paper copies.

 

Second session: students who scored below 10/20 during the first exam session, will have to redo the component or components they failed. If the failing mark concerns the group paper and presentation (practical assignment), an individual adaptation of the paper and an individual presentation will be required.
