In most cases I will try to have the readings put on electronic course reserve at Milner's website. To access these, go to the Reserves readings, then click on Enter course reserve readings, then search by the course number and name (Psy369: Psycholinguistics).
If I can't get the readings here, I'll make a copy available in the Psychology Resrouce Center (rm 17 in the Basement of DeGarmo)
After reading the papers, I'd like you to think about them and write a brief (1 to 2 typed pages) paper about your thoughts and reactions to the papers and the issues about which they discuss. For some of the readings I'll provide a "thought paper question" for you to address in your reaction to the readings. For those without thought paper questions, just give me your unguided thoughts about the readings.
