Students' scientific critical thinking skills are put to the test by evaluating a recent scientific study by a faculty member and "grilling" them on whether each of the concepts in this course has been carefully considered.
The Lesson in Context
This is the first of several lessons involving guests. We typically invite a social scientist to share a recent published study of theirs, to be read by students ahead of time and discussed in groups during section. Questions and comments generated during the section will then be collected, a few of which will be posed to the guest during the live plenary. Students are encouraged to base their questions on particular course concepts introduced thus far.
We have a different guest and paper every year. So, the substance of this lesson can change quite substantially. Much of what's written here is an example based on what was used in UC Berkeley's Spring 2023 iteration of the course.
Takeaways
After this lesson, students should
- Be able to critically examine a piece of contemporary research and pose meaningful questions to gauge the validity and limitations of its results.
- Be able to flexibly invoke and synthesize course concepts in a real world dialogue on science and society.
The definitions for this lesson very depending on your paper and guest. These examples were used at UC Berkeley in Spring 2023.
Disfluency
Pauses that disrupt normal speaking patterns.
- Filled Pauses
When the pause is filled with an utterance like "uh" or "um."
- Unfilled Pauses
When no utterance fills the pause. Note that unfilled pauses are not always disfluencies.
Referent
The object that a given set of sounds refers to.
Novel
An object or word that has not ever been encountered before.
Discourse-new
An object or word that has not previously come up in a given discourse. These may or may not be novel.
Principle of Contrast
The idea that novel objects will be attached to novel words.
Determiners
Words that identify or distinguish a referent without describing or modifying it. For example, the word "the."
Lexical Category
Type of word.
Prosody
The patterns of stress and intonation in someone's speech.
Online Word Recognition
Word recognition that's happening live (in the moment) as opposed to figuring out words afterwards.
Eye-tracking Studies
A class of studies that measure where people look or how their gaze shifts. These are common throughout psychology, psycholinguistics, and cognitive science research as a proxy for people's behavior, attention, and cognition.
