Psy 238(Intro to psycholinguistics)vsPsy 239 (Appetite:psych of eating and drinking) (1 Viewer)

[uh_huh2]

Hey,

Has anyone done any of these subjects? I'm not sure which one to pick, they both seem interesting. What are the assessments like for each?

Thanks,

I hope you are enjoying the holidays

the psych of eating a drinking?! wtf? is that a new subject?!
psycholinguistics will be linguistics based, so don't do it if you can't stand models and theories of reading, syntax, language acquisition, language disorders

yeh i think it might be. The appetite subject seems more interesting and fun.

I did psy238 (also known as ling214 in the linguistics department). You basically learn about how humans acquire language, comprehend speech and produce speech. I wouldn't really recommend you do it, but if you are, you should really doing ling110 as a prereq. Hope this helps!

I bet there's a fair component on anorexia/bulimia, with tutes involving insecure women talking about how society is pressuring them to be thin...yawn.... j/k, I know those are very serious issues.

Psychology of Eating and Drinking? Sounds interesting. I think it is new because i don't remember that in 2nd year:/
