October 20 HLP Lab Meeting
I'll be talking about some work I've been doing pursuing an ideal observer model/rational analysis of learning/adaptation in sentence comprehension. Many of you heard about the idea last spring, but I actually have a little bit of data now. This project was originally inspired by Meghan Clayards' work, so if you haven't read her 2008 Cognition paper, please do:

At least two other papers are relevant. If you're interested in the method we're using, we've followed the lead of Wells et al. (2009). That being the case, you can focus on the methods if you decide to read this one. I will be discussing the methods some as well.

Florian also brought this paper to my attention, which I haven't yet read, but which seems very relevant:

Finally, Neal Snider passed along a copy of Yuki Kamide's poster from Amlap, which is in a similar vein:

I'll send out an e-mail with more detailed suggestions about which of these you definitely ought to read, who should read them, etc.
