COURSE DETAIL
The course explores the human language faculty from the point of view of language impairment. Both acquired impairment (such as aphasia) and developmental impairment (such as specific language impairment) are examined. As a result, the course also explores the various ways brain activity is monitored and understood. Other areas where language is impaired or develops in some "unusual" way (such as in autism and various genetic syndromes) or in "exceptional" circumstances (such as with isolated children, blind children) are examined in order to determine what factors lead to the impairment of language.
