Psycholinguistics deals with languages and how they are learned. Popular theories of psycolinguistics deal with whether children know language instinctively or whether it must be learned.

Psycholinguistics is important because it helps us understand how people comprehend, produce, and acquire language. It provides insights into the cognitive processes underlying language use, which can inform fields such as education, communication disorders, and artificial intelligence. By studying psycholinguistics, researchers can investigate how the human brain processes and understands language, leading to advancements in various related disciplines.
