The Centre for Comparative Psycholinguistics (CCP, University of Alberta Department of Linguistics) organizes a week long Spring Training Workshop in current issues and methods in psycholinguistics. It will take place in Edmonton, Alberta, May 16-20, 2016. The Spring School is directed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students and anyone else interested in learning how to turn their research ideas into concrete steps towards experimental designs, data collection and analysis using advanced experimental and statistical methods. Our theme for STEP this year is The Psycholinguistics of Learning and features several exciting instructors:
