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

 * Luke & Christianson (2016) Limits on lexical prediction during reading, Cognitive Psychology. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cogpsych.2016.06.002 Argues against "strong prediction" idea (specific, all or nothing lexical prediction). Rather, semantic/morphological stuff is more predictable (and highly predtctable lexical competitors can be facilitative). -DFK (via @tallinzen)

== What we did over last week ==

=== Florian ===
 1. Back from the Alps. Too beautiful (the Alps, not me). Still sick. 
 1. Prepared and held discussion group at Uni Zurich (Balthasar Bickell, Damian Blasi, etc.) on processing effects on language change. This completes the Sweden-Holland-Germany-Switzerland academic summer trip 2016. One thesis defense, four talks, one discussion group, and lots of meetings.


=== Kodi ===

=== Andrew ===
  1. Went to Wisconsin

=== Olga ===

 1. Updated the tutorial to have the correct answers pop up on the filler quiz
 1. Played around with quizzes that would show up in between text. got the quizzes to show up but not if the person got it correct. 

=== Esteban ===

 1. Thesis/paper writing, working on the VOT adaptation follow-up about specificity.
 1. Completed NIH grant participant reporting things.

=== Dave ===

 1. Finished draft of paper/chapter on informativity of socio-indexical grouping factors for cue distributions. (Dealt with a particularly and unexpectedly nasty problem with randomization in the modeling).
 1. (Partially) drafted paper/chapter on inferring listeners' prior beliefs (incorporating a second experiment and modeling)

=== Dan ===

=== Amanda ===
 1. Looked at kid videos to see whether there is any evidence that the new task is working with kids / whether they are just super bored.
 1. Helped with recruitment at the museum.
 1. Worked on my grant application (thought about the design of studies).
 1. Made a small pilot task with Wes to try to look at the distributions of acceptability for relative vs. absolute adjectives. 

=== Zach ===

 1. Running a lot of new simulations for the LabPhon poster
 1. Making the LabPhon poster.
 1. Thinking a lot about word recognition. I've found a disagreeable theoretical implication of the model. Currently, if a contrast is lost, it could lower the recognition of a word without any minimal pairs.  Trying to think about how the probability would really shift in the event of a contrast lost in the confusion matrix.
 1. Coordinating undergrads' work, having them start to use the eye-tracker more.
