Advanced Phonetics: Practical Research

This course is a project-based course focused on research in attention, perception, memory, and social variation. Students will either conduct a study proposed in the fall quarter or join a team with an existing proposed study. The course will focus on linking research questions with design, identifying predictions associated with relevant theories, carrying out collaborative research, and being thoughtful about data and supported versus speculative claims. It is expected that students will begin data collection by the end of the quarter for a project that embraces the complexity of spoken language processing.
