Overview

Psycholinguistics is the scientific study of the psychology of language. It is one of the most important areas of cognitive psychology. How we produce, understand, acquire, and use language, and how these processes are affected by ageing and brain damage, are core topics in understanding human behaviour.

In addition, psycholinguistics has several important applications including:

how a second language should best be taught

how children should be taught to learn to read and write

artificial intelligence

computer-assisted communication

the treatment of developmental and acquired language disorders
