Participants of this seminar will conduct an empirical eye-tracking study in the
domain of psycholinguistics.
In preparation, we will start with theoretical foundations and answer questions like the
following:
- What are eye movements and why are they interesting for psycholinguistic research?
- Which psycholinguistic theories deal with eye movements?
- What is the "Visual World Paradigm"?
- How do we understand eye-tracking data?
In the second part of the seminar, participants will plan an empirical study. During this
planning, we will discuss the following methodological aspects:
- What research question do we want to answer and what is the best way to answer it?
- How to design an experiment?
- How does the software work?
- How to analyse the data?
In the third part of the seminar we will conduct the planned study and discuss their
results.
We have already ideas for an eye-tracking study that concerns the role of prosody on
spatial language, but you are free to develop and test your own research questions.
This seminar will be held in English.
