PSYCH 161 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Cerebral Palsy, Auditory Cortex, Facial Expression
Document Summary
What sounds waves look like: lots of auditory processing machinery. We don"t know how the acoustics of speech is represented in auditory cortex. Even if (when) we figure out how speech acoustic patterns are coded in the brain, Pick the structure that matches the focus: the baby"s cry, the girl covered her. Pick the words: cry, scream, yell, screech. Add some morphology such as we aren"t done ears. Communication happens without language: facial expression, posture, Thoughts are often hard to express through language. Language is often ambiguous, thoughts are not. A system of partially unconscious knowledge that translates between thoughts and speech sounds (or signs in the case of sign language) Idiosyncratic stuff (past tense of find = found) Not what did you put it in? ), use a double negative (say, i cannot get satisfaction not i can"t get not satisfaction ), Start a sentence with and or but and so on.
