B. de Groot delves into the methodologies and technologies employed in the study of language acquisition, processing, and communication. This comprehensive guide gathers insights from leading researchers and practitioners across various disciplines, covering traditional observational and behavioral techniques, computational modeling, corpus linguistics, virtual reality, and neurobiological methods such as functional and structural neuroimaging and molecular genetics.

Designed for students and scholars in the field, this book explores the relative strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. It provides detailed descriptions of the apparatus used, the nature of stimuli and data, and the techniques involved in data collection and analysis for each method. With numerous example studies and full-color illustrations, it serves as an indispensable resource, offering a clear understanding of the practices and tools employed in psycholinguistics and neurobiology research.

Through contributions from distinguished researchers, this guide illuminates the underlying assumptions and rationales behind various research methodologies. Ideal for those seeking to deepen their knowledge or embark on research projects in psycholinguistics and the neurobiology of language, it is a valuable reference for academic libraries and personal collections alike.
