Students prepare to evaluate published papers, noting the relationships that hold between data and theories. Relates neurophysiologic studies to current linguistic and cognitive theories and provides the background for independent research. Prerequisites: CPSY 0810 , CPSY 1820 , CPSY 1821 , or NEUR 0010 .
