Lab Meeting, Autumn 2015, Week 7

Awe- and Aw-inspiring readings (or just stuff you think deserves a mention)

Deserves a mention--I hadn't heard of it before and don't see it cited: "Constraints on the Transfer of Perceptual Learning in Accented Speech". Eisner, Melinger & Weber (2013) (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3612694/)

They see that listeners generalize L1 Dutch stop devoicing to other Dutch speakers, but not to British-accented speakers doing the same thing. Just further confirmation of some ideas the lab has talked about. --ZJB

What we did over last week

Florian

Kodi

Andrew

1. Started complete rewrite of HTML/JS/CSS for Becky's experiment, because the existing version is built on some shaky ancient HTML.
2. Filed amendments on both RSRB protocols to remove people who are gone and no longer associated with the lab and to change Masha to a non-UR affiliated researcher.
3. Migrated MariaDB tables from old www to new www.
