Psycholinguistics

Subject classification: this is an education resource .

Educational level: this is a tertiary (university) resource.

Completion status: Almost complete, but you can help make it more thorough.

This learning project is initially being developed from January - April, 2011, by students in Dalhousie University's Psycholinguistics class (PSYO & NESC 3190). The instructor for this course is Aaron Newman.

By April 2011, the goal is for each student in the course to have developed a topic by writing a 2500-4000 word chapter, and creating a learning exercise for that topic.
