Description
Students will replicate an existing experimental psycholinguistics study on a small scale. The study will be planned and carried out in groups of two to five students, but students write individual reports for their assessment.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the module, the student will be able to:
(i) locate relevant recent studies and summarise them in terms of hypotheses, design, variables and data collection methods,
(ii) identify variables and set up hypotheses for an experiment,
(iii) design an experiment and prepare stimuli (together with other members of a research group),
(iv) collect and organise experimental data (together with other members of a research group),
(v) use basic descriptive and inferential statistics to analyse experimental data,
(vi) report and discuss their results and their theoretical and methodological implications.
