Psycholinguistics (PSY 369)
CLASS LECTURES
Note: The "old lectures" serve as the starting point for the "new lectures." I often am editing the lectures right up until class time, so the "new" ones may not be available until the final minutes before class. Since the old and new lectures are from different semesters, there may not be a one-to-one correspondence of topics (e.g., if I switch the topic order around).
