Psycholinguistics
Season 1
Episode 11
We couldn't have language without the brain, but our brains are a bit harder to study than other parts of the body. We learn about the field that studies where and how language happens in the brain, called psycholinguistics. We uncover old and new research in the field, classic studies and the methods psycholinguistics use to make connections between language and the brain.
