    YES!!! Psycholinguistics is my favourite field of linguistics! This is a great refresher too since I'm applying to grad programs now.

    Earlier in my graduate studies, I took a lot of courses on psycholinguistics, and I almost decided to do my master's thesis on a subject in computational psycholinguistics, so I really enjoyed this video! Another contrast to note between EEG and fMRI is that EEG only records changes in potentials at the surface of the brain, not in the cortex, whereas fMRI has high spatial resolution and can look anywhere within the brain. There's also another technique, MEG (magnetoencephalography), but it's far less common than the others. It has better spatial resolution than EEG, and better tempora resolution than fMRI. That said, it requires a much larger apparatus than EEG, and doesn't offer enough of an advantage in spatial resolution to make its better temporal resolution outcompete fMRI. I've only ever read one paper that used it for psycholinguistic experiments, and that was a weird paper.

    I did not expect this to get so detailed as to talk about the N400. My final project for my Neurolinguistics class was about the N400, looking at how rhyme priming (I have always loved that phrase, lol) affects the strength of an N400 response.

    Fascinating! I had a left brain stroke 13 years ago. I lost all my spoken language and writing. I did learn how to talk jibberish and swear, I was quite the patient. I still talk in jibberish to my cats because the words don’t matter, the tone and feeling of the language make sense to a cat.
    I could speak English again but that was after three years of exhaustive learning. I got my job back, that is the only reason I can speak anything now.
    I wonder how often I do the garden path sentencing? That looks like it is very relevant to me and my problems with writing. Good show.

    Speaking about Garden Path Sentences: "We process sentences as we experience them, we don't wait until we have seen or heard a whole sentence before starting to figure out what is going on" I wonder if this apply for all languages. Japanese has the verb at the end of the sentences and in German there could be a verb particle at the end that can change the whole meaning of the sentence.

    • @FrankLeeMadeere

      There is a ton of comedy based on changing the last word... in english at least. I know a Turk who says this is rare in Turkish, which has a very different sentence structure. However, other forms of wordplay are actually MORE common in comedy.

      Interesting comment because I was thinking about why I always feel like I'm being lead down a Garden Path during my Persian study. I put it down to my intermediate level of comprehension and that my exposure is still just not yet high enough for me to comprehend or grasp clauses and the particular sentence's meaning quickly enough. I experience the eye-tracking and circling back ALL THE TIME when I'm reading with my tutor, as my brain actively assesses, verifies or adjusts to the change in the Garden's Path. FASCINATING.

    • @cndcpwll
      @cndcpwll 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I've found that learning the first language after your native one requires both a critical assessment of yourself (learning style, ego, interests, communication style etc) as well as understanding your native language in detail to be able to comprehend language as a concept and practice in its own right. These knowledge areas provide the greater context behind your experience(s), challenge(s) and navigating solution(s) to them. Many "green" language learners are oblivious to the self-awareness, science and art that the undertaking actually requires, which I would assume leads to such a delta between the staying power/ commitment of beginner and intermediate learners.

    For decades I've had a particular "tip of the tongue" experience every time I tried to recall the four most regular people on The Carol Burnett Show. I had the usual experience like everyone else, but with this show I could recall only three names but could not for the life of me recall the fourth. It didn't matter which three I named first. On one ridiculous occasion I remembered Harvey Korman, Vicky Lawrence and Tim Conway but could not remember Carol's name! Even now, typing this comment, I had to Google "The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia" to recall Vicky Lawrence because I remembered she sang that song.

    The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon is also frequently called by its French name, *presque vu*, in English. It's part of a set of weird experiences first noted as similar by the French with the more well-known déjà vu (a feeling that a situation is uncannily familiar, even though you're pretty sure it's not) and less well-known jamais vu (a feeling that a situation is uncannily unfamiliar, even if you've been in similar situations many times before).

    • @cndcpwll
      @cndcpwll 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would ask that you assess your "why?" first. Also, learning a language is a very personal project, so think about what you want out of the language and where you would like to take it. If you can't answer that and have no genuine interest in the culture, I would recommend spending time thinking about one that you do. Important to you is not important to anyone else.

      More people in the world speak Spanish, so it's more useful for travel (assuming travel will be a thing again after the pandemic). French is more useful in some professions, so if you happen to work in a field where French is relevant maybe that's something to consider.
      I personally would go with Spanish because I love traveling.

    • @rarelybell6308
      @rarelybell6308 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yapp.. Decreased oxygen levels that are not treated promptly can lead to cerebral hypoxia (lack of oxygen in the brain). Hypoxia causes damage to cells, tissues and organs, such as the brain.
      The short-term effects of cerebral hypoxia include the compensatory effects of other organs trying to restore adequate oxygen in the brain. The respiratory rate increases, the heart rate is accelerated, the body feels weak can occur because the oxygen level of other parts of the body decreases to provide an adequate supply to the brain.

    Good stuff, as always (great work you're doing).
    One tiny thing that doesn't sit so nicely with me is that - like many psycholinguists do as well - you say things like "words are related in the brain" (based on semantic priming), when really we mean "mind" and most of the theories are not about brains but minds (mental processors). 90% of psycholinguistics is not about the brain per se. I was lacking some classic behavioral experimental effects in comparison the flashy 'new' neuro stuff - like word frequency effects, the Stroop effect, or the McGurk effect.

    If i understand garden path sentences correctly, then i hate them. They're the equivalent of someone who tells half a story then moves on to something else and never comes back to finish the story. They build tension or anticipation but they don't grant relief, reward or finality. At least when they're combined with grammatical errors or a lack of punctuation. If someone goes on a tangent during a garden path sentence (if that's possible) then that just makes everything even worse. They might also be the reason why people like for example politicians can speak for a long time without actually saying anything of substance, meaning or value. If these grievances i've laid out aren't related to garden path sentences, then i'd like to know if there's other terms from linguistics or anywhere that can help put a name to these frustrating occurances so i can describe them better in the future.

      I don't think you're talking about garden path sentances. GPSes don't have to be long or complicated, they just have to be something where people will mostly misinterpret the gramatical structure at the start. E.g the example from Wikipedia "The old man the boat.", meaning 'The boat is manned by old people".
      I'm not sure quite what the frustrating occurances you're thinkog of are - maybe you can give a couple of examples.
