Without any previous research to go on, I'm wondering what are some generally accepted generic weakly informative priors in psycholinguistic research. In particular, for trial level analyses of accuracy and reaction time in typical psycholinguistic tasks (e.g., LDT, SCT).
I should also add that I'm interested in computing a Bayes Factor, which I believe affects the choice of prior.
Psycholinguistics- it is a branch of study which combines psychology and linguistics. It deals with the processes that occur in brain to perceive and produce a language( both spoken and written)
Three processes concerned with it are
Topics of research in psycholinguistics are : -
First language acquisition - how infants acquire a language.
Second language acquisition -how humans learn additional languages.
If u want to know more about psycho linguistics in detail, u can go through books written by Michael Garman, John Field, Willem Levelt etc
Psycholinguistics, is basically psychology of language. In this science, and sub discipline of philosophy, we look at, and analyse,psychological and neuro biological factors that enable us as language speaking humans to acquire, apply and understand language. There are many related disciplines and therefore research in the field of psycholinguistics is interdisciplinary. The subdisciplines include cognitive science, neuroscience, philosophy and psychology. How does the brain process language? What is universal grammar? Do we have a language acquisition device? Or do we use cognition to acquire a language? if you were on Mars, how would you communicate? Do dolphins have a language? what constitutes a language? Is there a critical period for language acquisition? If so, who determines it?
