The Psycholinguistics Training Program at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst is a community of researchers and students in the disciplines of Linguistics, Psychology, and Communication Disorders, including researchers at Smith College. The members of this community study both language acquisition and adult language performance, in the normal population and in populations of special interest such as speakers of African American English (AAE) and deaf individuals. The program is designed to provide students with expertise in psychological, linguistic, and communication-disorders based approaches to psycholinguistics. Its members share the belief that future advances in our understanding of language processing will most likely come from researchers who have such cross-disciplinary training. Predoctoral trainees (six requested) will be drawn from the Departments of Psychology, Linguistics, and Communication Disorders at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst. They will fulfill all the normal requirements of their home department in addition to meeting a set of special requirements designed to provide cross-disciplinary training. They will receive the Ph.D. Degree in their home department. The postdoctoral trainees (two requested) will be chosen from young scholars who have received their Ph.D. in one of the disciplines involved and who want to gain expertise in the other disciplines. They will audit seminars and advanced courses in the disciplines of Linguistics, Communication Disorders, and Psychology, attend regular meetings of the psycholinguistics community as well as regular meetings of more specialized research groups, and conduct research in various topics in psycholinguistics in collaboration with program faculty, and independently. The program is designed to train psycholinguists, linguists, and specialists in communication disorders to do basic research in language acquisition and language behavior. Such research is proving valuable in understanding a variety of disorders of language acquisition and behavior (e.g., in aphasia and in deafness). The program provides students with excellent opportunities to explore the applicability of their basic research to disorders of language and to language in populations of unusual interest.

马萨诸塞州/阿默斯特大学的心理语言学培训项目是一个由语言学、心理学和沟通障碍学科的研究人员和学生组成的社区，其中包括史密斯学院的研究人员。该社区的成员研究语言习得和成人语言表现，在正常人群和特殊利益的人群，如非洲裔美国人英语（AAE）和聋人的发言者。该计划旨在为学生提供心理，语言和沟通障碍为基础的心理语言学方法的专业知识。它的成员都相信，我们对语言处理的理解的未来进步很可能来自于受过这种跨学科训练的研究人员。博士前实习生（要求6名）将从马萨诸塞州/阿默斯特大学的心理学、语言学和交流障碍系中挑选。除了满足一系列旨在提供跨学科培训的特殊要求外，他们还将满足内政部的所有正常要求。他们将获得博士学位。在内政部的学位。博士后研究生（要求两名）将从获得博士学位的青年学者中选拔。在所涉及的学科之一，谁想要获得其他学科的专业知识。他们将审核研讨会和语言学，沟通障碍和心理学学科的高级课程，参加心理语言学社区的定期会议以及更专业的研究小组的定期会议，并与项目教师合作，独立地进行心理语言学各种主题的研究。该计划旨在培养心理语言学家，语言学家和沟通障碍专家，以进行语言习得和语言行为的基础研究。这样的研究被证明在理解各种语言习得和行为障碍方面很有价值（例如，失语症和耳聋）。该计划为学生提供了极好的机会，探索他们的基础研究的语言障碍和语言的不寻常的兴趣人群的适用性。
