Dear All,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Language Comprehension
Lab<https://lcl.ceu.edu/> invites you to the following talk:
Falk Huettig<https://www.mpi.nl/people/huettig-falk> (Max Planck Institute for
Psycholinguistics)
The Extended Literate Mind Hypothesis
In this talk I will describe the Enhanced Literate Mind (ELM) hypothesis. As individuals
learn to read and write, they are, from then on, exposed to extensive written-language
input and become literate. I propose that literacy acquisition leads to, both, increased
language knowledge as well as enhanced language and non-language perceptual and cognitive
skills. The ELM hypothesis connects with the notion that all neurotypical (native)
language users (including illiterate, low literate, and high literate individuals) share a
Basic Language Cognition (BLC) in the domain of oral informal language (Hulstijn, 2015).
Finally, I will discuss the possibility that the acquisition of ELM leads to some degree
of ‘knowledge parallelism’ between BLC and ELM in literate language users, which has
implications for empirical research on individual and situational differences in spoken
language processing.
