Gender and Language Processing

How do we deal with gender when we process language? Do we take it into consideration when we hear words and sentences? In this week's episode, we talk about gender and language processing: the different kinds of gender in language, how gender influences our ability to retrieve words from our mental dictionaries, and how our views on gender temporarily keep us from considering otherwise legitimate interpretations of sentences. This is Topic #32! If you want to watch our previous episode on ERPs, it's here: http://youtu.be/wi5mQs7c56c This week's tag language: Cheyenne!
