This course provides an introduction to these theories and methods. Furthermore, the factors that affect our perception, production, and acquisition of a first or second language are studied. The course introduces the principles for conducting and assessing a psycholinguistic experiment and includes an exercise in conducting such an experiment.

This course explores the basic principles of human behavior and how these principles can be applied to product development or design. It also considers how human principles can be combined and applied with engineering principles. At the same time, the content of learning is directly applied by building an efficient, convenient, and safe cognitive system. The goal is to improve psychological scientific analysis ability;  convergence technology capabilities, and the ability to utilize information technology media tools.
