Psycholinguistics is the study of how language is processed and understood in the human mind. This interdisciplinary field draws on knowledge from psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, and neuroscience to explore various aspects of language cognition, including language acquisition, comprehension, production, and the relationship between language and thought. Psycholinguists use a variety of research methods, such as experiments, brain imaging, and computational modeling, to better understand the mechanisms underlying language processing and provide insights into how the human mind processes and produces language.
