About Language and Communication
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
This unit sits in the Cognition and Learning strand of Psychology. It brings together how children acquire language, how adults produce and understand it, and how we communicate without words.
- Acquisition: the Chomsky Mind Map covers the idea that children's brains are pre-wired for language, including the Language Acquisition Device. Other maps look at lexical development, wild children and a critical period, and how children learn words.
- Processing: maps on Sentence Processing, Understanding Words and Understanding Speech, plus the Producing words map on conceptualisation and formulation.
- Communication: several Non-Verbal Communication maps and flashcard decks cover paralinguistics, tone of voice, emphasis and facial expression.
- Bilingualism and the brain: Bilingual Memory, Bilingual Cognition versus Monolingual Cognition and THE BRAIN.
Where to start
Begin with a broad map such as Language Development or Chapter 11: Language to get the overall picture. Then pick the strand you need: acquisition, processing or non-verbal communication. The Chomsky map is a good early step, as many later maps assume the nature versus nurture debate.
Using maps and quizzes together
Read a map first, then test yourself. The Neurolinguistics and Psycholinguistics quiz asks about errors in word retrieval and priming, which pairs well with the speech production maps. The Week 10 - Language Production quiz checks levels of speech production, morphemes and clauses. Wrong answers show you which map branch to reread.
Flashcard decks such as Theories of Language and Language Development suit quick recall of names and terms. Notes like Early work on Parsing and The Psychology of Reading - Rayner add detail for reading and sentence processing.
Levels and exams
Most resources are written for university study, with some for school students. Some mention GCSE Psychology, A-level Psychology and AP Psychology, so check the title and content against your own course.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with a broad mind map such as Language Development or Chapter 11: Language for an overview. If you want a specific debate, the Chomsky map explains the Language Acquisition Device and the nature view. Then move on to a quiz to test what you took in.
What do the non-verbal communication resources cover?
There are several mind maps, flashcard decks and notes on non-verbal communication. They cover verbal versus non-verbal messages, paralinguistics such as tone of voice, emphasis and intonation, and facial expressions. There are also case study flashcards and notes on non-verbal communication studies.
Are there quizzes on language production and the brain?
Yes. The Week 10 - Language Production quiz covers levels of speech production, morphemes and clauses. The Neurolinguistics and Psycholinguistics quiz tests errors in word retrieval and priming. There is also a quiz called Brain and language. Together they pair well with the Producing words and THE BRAIN maps.
Are these resources free, and who made them?
Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Which levels and exams do they suit?
Most of the resources are at university level, with some for school students. Some of them mention GCSE Psychology, A-level Psychology and AP Psychology. Because the community wrote them, check each title against your own syllabus before relying on it.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Look through the related areas on the page first. Bilingualism, reading, word recognition, sign language and language disorders each have their own resources. If your topic still isn't there, you can make your own map or flashcards and use the listed ones as a model.
