Lab Meeting, Spring 2016, Week 15

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

• The paper from Reinisch and Holt on generalization of s-f: Reinisch, E., & Holt, L. L. (2014). Lexically guided phonetic retuning of foreign-accented speech and its generalization. Journal of Experimental Psychology. Human Perception and Performance, 40(2), 539–55. doi:10.1037/a0034409. They claim that generalization happens when the talkers are "perceptually similar". reinisch-holt-2014.pdf

Florian

1. Edited and Submitted Masha's paper to Psych Science. Shudder.

2. Edited paper with Dan for submission to PNAS.

3. Edited abstracts for IWLP (3) and AMLaP (1?). Even wrote one myself .

4. Read and evaluated more post-doc applications. Skype with more candidates.

5. Feedback on paper with Juergen Bohnemeyer and Guillermo.

6. Feedback to Darcy Rose on her plural pronunciation study.

7. Feedback on study design for artificial language learning study by Scott Grimm and Chigusa (on plurality).

Kodi

Andrew

1. Tinkering around the edges of the ALL app to improve its look

2. Started transitioning my SPRRunner Flask app to use Blueprints on the way making it a general MTurk experiment running framework, including adding an RESTful API with anonymization and where others can use the list balancing, etc. (Mostly just in planning at this point.)

3. Cleaned up the Turk Payments Google spreadsheet and generated a report for Florian about how everyone is spending his money.

4. Poked around trying to learn more about RedCap to see if I can reduce the Continuing Review load by improving our setup on it for easier subject count and demographic reports.

Olga

Esteban

1. Went through another batch of annotations from RAs 😤.
2. Did first pass analysis of follow-up to my JML paper with flo'tan. Looks like things are replicating 😌.
3. Worked out some remaining issues with a pygaze study. Turns out something in pygaze/pygame/psychopy/??? does not like 32bit wav files but is ok with 16bit 😶.
4. Met with Jill Warker, had a good chat about ideas for future work 😺.
5. Submitted too many abstracts 😅.
6. Finally did the first round of testing of autoVOT on mturk recordings. Not all that encouraging 😿.

Dan

Amanda

Zach

1. Spent a long time trying to understand "predict.merMod" in R and why it was bugging out on me.
2. Wrote a more for subtitle project
3. Coded up and demo'd the pupillometry project

Linda

1. More analysis for pen in mouth study.
2. Ran additional experiment for pen in mouth study.

5. Noam Chomsky in the flesh with da booosh et al.

Maryam

Wednesday

1. Started writing ditransitive definiteness paper. Writing is hard.

2. Prepared & gave purrr tutorial in lab mtg

3. Cleaned up simulation code some more for sharing with others. I feel like at this point I should just make it completely general and stick it on GitHub.

4. Saw Chomsky in the flesh
