Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics is an institute for scientific research in the area of psycholinguistics. The institute is located in Nijmegen in the province of Gelderland in The Netherlands. The institute is a member of the German Max Planck Society and is the only institute of this organisation to be located in The Netherlands. It is located on the campus of the Radboud University Nijmegen.

The Max Planck Institute's research focuses on language comprehension, language production, language acquisition and the relation between language and cognition. The institute employs about 135 people.

The MPI for Psycholinguistics was founded in 1980. It has four scientific directors, each of whom is responsible for one of the scientific disciplines: Anne Cutler (language comprehension), Wolfgang Klein (language acquisition), Peter Hagoort (language production) and Stephen Levinson (language and cognition). Previously, William Marslen-Wilson was director of the language comprehension group and Willem Levelt was director of the language production group.

The institute participates in the F.C. Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging, another institute located in Nijmegen, founded in 1999.
