Psycholinguistics in Education: Understanding the Thinking and Speaking of Indonesian Children

Psycholinguistics is the branch of science that studies how people process, understand, and produce language. In education, psycholinguistics is very important, especially in understanding how children think and speak. The mental processes involved in learning language affect how children learn new things in school. In Indonesia, with its rich variety of languages and cultures, understanding psycholinguistics becomes increasingly important for teachers to help children grow optimally in this complex environment.
