Psychology of Reading seminar, Fall 2018

In Fall 2018 I will be teaching a new class, Psychology of Reading (Psych 391RE).  It will meet Tuesday and Thursday 1-2:15.

This undergraduate seminar focus on the cognitive processes involved in reading.  We will review research on word recognition in skilled reading, on how reading is integrated with the control of eye movements, and on how readers comprehend sentences.  We will also learn about the neuroscience of reading, about reading development and instruction, and about how reading works in non-alphabetic writing systems.

I would be happy to have students from a variety of disciplines (e.g., Linguistics and Com Dis), in addition to Psychology students.  If you’re interested in an advance copy of the syllabus, please contact me.
