Lab Meeting, TERM YYYY, Week XX

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

• For our accent adaptation studies, we might want to do some form of pre-test before "exposure": Wanrooij, Escudero, and Raijmakers (2013) find that certain differences in pre-test performance correlate with how well the listeners adapt in interesting ways. In essence, that people who are attending the right things in the beginning benefit from training. They also use something called "latent class regression" that seems like it could be cool. ZB

What we did over last week

Florian

     • Unfortunately, Eleanor declined my offer to join the lab (going to Northwestern instead). In the meantime, I became aware of Rachael Tatman's work, who will soon give a talk via skype. She might be a suitable candidate for the position.
