Lab Meeting, Summer 2016, Week 7
Awe- and Aw-inspiring readings (or just stuff you think deserves a mention)
What we did over last week
Florian
Andrew
- Helped Masha get stuff set up to run her study while she's here
Olga
Esteban
Dave
Dan
Amanda
- Read some papers on the use of Miniature Language Systems and how they work; for work with Wes on QUD and absolute/gradable adjective learning. This week we're reading a bit about how kids acquire adjectives (though, I'm pretty certain that this is more about figuring out that adjectives are about features, and not objects, rather than learning about how to use different adjectives).
- Worked on a new version of a kid task, and the first kid in the task did well - but hard to tell if she would have done well without the handholding.
- Worked out all of the recordings I need to do for the naming task.
- Met with the Kinder Koders and showed them a simple way to make an alarm clock (complete with creepy alarm notification sound clip) in python, worked on writing a script to autocrop, resize, and save clipart images (will only work if there is already no background... it's a start, and easier than asking RAs to edit such images).
- Ran a norming study for Bethany on Turk. We then chatted about the replication study results (and different ways to look at her data issues, now that she has the norming data from turk).
- Worried about my grant.
