Research in psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics typically begins with behavioral experiments. Researchers recruit participants to perform pre-designed tasks, measuring data such as millisecond-level reaction times, accuracy, and ratings, which reflect psychological and cognitive processes. Once reliable and stable results are obtained, experiments may then proceed to incorporate other methods, such as brain imaging techniques. The Institute of Language Sciences has two behavioral laboratories, each equipped with high-performance desktop computers (12 units), high-refresh-rate monitors (12 units), and noise-canceling headphones (12 sets, used for auditory stimuli). These experimental devices are compatible with commonly used experimental software (e.g., Psychtoolbox, PsychoPy, E-prime, Experiment Builder), meeting the needs of most psycholinguistic experiments.
