LIN 260 - Language and Mind
An introduction to the study of the human mind, starting with modern scientific investigations of language, and then its relationship with other systems such as music perception, visual narrative, numerical cognition as well as comparison to animal cognition. What is innate and what does “innateness” mean? Do the brain mechanisms subserving language also support musical and numerical cognition? How is language related to thought and to action? Students will be exposed to research across several disciplines (linguistics, psychology, and cognitive neuroscience) and will acquire a basic understanding of modern experimental tools for investigating the human mind.
