Lab Meeting, Spring 2016, Week 14

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

For Kodi, Linda, Flo, and I: "Phonetic recalibration of speech by text" http://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/s13414-015-1034-y --ZJB

Newish paper by Zamuner, Morin-Lessard, Strahm, & Page on whether and how producing new words leads to changes in comprehension: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0749596X15001205 --EXB

Definitely not inspiring, but I thought some people might want to look at the code I made for automatically comparing nuisance factors in glmer models quick_chi_squareds.R --ZJB
