About language and communication notes
GoConqr OriginalUsing Language and Communication notes
Start with the study questions on cognition and language if you want prompts to guide your reading. They ask you to define terms and identify properties of language. For a focused topic, Language and thought introduces several perspectives on the relationship between the two.
The notes also offer different routes into language processing. The Psychology of Reading - Rayner outlines information processing in reading, while Early work on Parsing looks at models of sentence understanding. Non-Verbal Communication Studies includes a study of tone of voice and verbal messages.
Move from reading to recall
Read a section, then put its main points into your own words. Return to the note to check what you missed. When you want a more visual overview, switch to a mind map on the unit page; use a quiz when you are ready to check your recall. Pick a note and give that approach a try.
