  • AS 050.206: Bilingualism

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    Do children get confused when they grow up exposed to more than one language? Is it possible to forget one’s native language? Are the first and second language processed in different areas of the brain? How does brain damage impact the different languages of a polyglot? Does knowing a second language affect non-linguistic cognitive processing? This course will address questions such as these through an exploration of mental and neural processes underlying bilingual and multilingual language processing.

  • AS 050.240: World of Language

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    This hands-on course exposes students to the fascinating variety – and uniformity – to be found among the world’s 6000 languages through group lectures on a variety of topics as well as actual linguistic fieldwork conducted in small groups with a native speaker of a language unknown to the participants. This course is a good preparation for upper-division linguistics courses.

  • AS 050.315: Cognitive Neuropsychology of Visual Perception: The Malfunctioning Visual Brain

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    When we think about our ability to see, we tend to think about our eyes, but in fact vision happens mostly in the brain. This course explores the remarkable perceptual deficits that occur when the visual regions of the brain are damaged or fail to develop normally, focusing on what these perceptual malfunctions tell us about normal visual perception. Topics include visual system anatomy and physiology; functional specialization in the lower visual system as revealed by cerebral achromatopsia (color blindness resulting from brain damage) and akinetopsia (impaired motion perception); cortical plasticity in the visual system; spatial deficits in perception and action; and the implications of high-level visual deficits, including prosopagnosia (impaired face recognition), Charles Bonnet syndrome (complex visual hallucinations in blind areas of the visual field), blindsight (accurate responding to visual stimuli despite apparent inability to see them), and Anton’s syndrome (denial of blindness). Prerequisite: 050.101 or 050.105 or 050.203 or 080.203 or permission of instructor. Cross-listed with Neuroscience.

  • AS 050.318: Practicum in Language Disorders

    1.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    Prerequisites: Students with a junior or senior status. Students must have taken and earned an A-or above in: 080.203; or 050.203; or 050.105; or 050.311. A minimum major GPA of 3.5 is required. Please see additional instructions on: the Neuroscience Department Website This course provides the opportunity to learn about adult aphasias; language disorders which are one of the most common consequences of stroke. You will receive training in Supportive Communication Techniques and work as a communication partner with an individual with aphasia for two hours per week. Three class meetings for orientation and reading assignments will be held on campus; training and practicum will be conducted at a local aphasia support center. Transportation required.

  • AS 050.325: Phonology I

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    Prereq: Previous experience with one other language-related course is desirable but not obligatory. An introduction to the basic principles underlying the mental representation and manipulation of language sounds and their relation to human perception and vocal articulation: how units of sound are both decomposable into elementary features and combined to form larger structures like syllables and words. The role of rules and constraints in a formal theory of phonological competence and in accounting for the range of variation among the world’s languages. Same as 050.625

  • AS 050.480: Learning Theory

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    Prerequisites: With instructor permission, this course is open to upperclass undergraduates concentrating in computation. Recently, statistical learning has played a leading role in informing the empiricist/nativist and connectionist/ symbolic debates. But just what is “statistical learning” and what’s new about it? This course presents theories of statistical learning, such as Bayesian models, causal networks, information-theoretic models (e.g., Minimum Description Length and Maximum Entropy formalisms). These methods have caused revolutions in machine vision and natural language processing. During the course, these methods will be compared with other numerical learning methods such as connectionist networks, and with non-numerical learning theories such as Gold’s classic learnability theory and its probailistic extension to PAC (probably approximately correct) learning theory. This recent work has fundamental implications for the ancient problem of induction. Prerequisites: With instructor permission, this course is open to upperclass undergraduates concentrating in computation.

  • AS 060.100: Intro Expository Writing

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    This course is designed to help less experienced writers succeed with the demands of college writing. Students learn how to read and summarize texts, how to analyze texts, and how to organize their thinking in clearly written essays. Emphasis is on analysis and the skills that analysis depends upon.

  • AS 060.109: Inheriting Hamlet

    1.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    This class will explore the legacy of Hamlet from critical theory to popular film; from Sigmund Freud to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s "Last Action Hero." More than any other play by Shakespeare, Hamlet has been the mirror through which later eras have viewed their own image. We will consider these interpretations and, along the way, work to develop some of our own.
