This unit introduces a psychological perspective into the study of language. In particular, we are concerned with the way in which people's knowledge of language is represented in the brain, and the psychological processes that are involved in acquiring and using that knowledge. Topics covered in the unit include: word recognition; skilled reading and reading development; acquired and developmental reading disorders; acquired spelling disorders; sentence comprehension; semantic memory and the neuropsychology of semantic memory; language production; aphasia; and first language acquisition, both normal and disordered. -- Course Website
