RA Meeting, Summer 2016, Week 6
Awe- and Aw-inspiring readings (or just stuff you think deserves a mention)
What we did over last week
Madeline
- Ran a couple people for Scott's study, but none of them actually qualified so I'm crying silently
- Went through all the Kamide lists with Lauren to see what is wrong with what
- Ran Wes through one of the lists with the eyetracker
- Attempted to recruit random Physics people to run Scott's study but I guess they're too good for us (~!~real science~!~)
- Worked with Jeff - made a Qualtrics template to import surveys, organized some gross MTurk spreadsheets - ~10 hours last week
- Thought about studying for my Nanzan placement tests. Doesn't mean that I actually did anything.

Pragmatic inference project:
- Put Qualtrics norming study on MTurk, got data (thanks Amanda).
- Wrote Java/R script to analyze norming data. Made many mental notes on what to tell Qualtrics next time in order to make parsing/cleaning code less gross.
- Worked on outtake survey data from both spring iterations of the eyetracking part and discovered that it sort of foreshadowed the norming study.
- Translated paper into Latex so I can start rewriting it.
- Learned that converting factors to integers in R just labels them in order of appearance, even if said factors look like numbers to humans... This solved weird issues in my spaghetti plots.
Other:
- Annotated Madeline's recording for the accent adaptation condition.
- Madeline and I are still looking for 3 more monolingual people for Scott's study...
- Python adventures with Kinder lab people

Lauren
Added SONA Timeslots, waiting on more sign-ups, emailed participants RedCap survey

- Listened to a few Kamide lists on subject's computer, did 2 trials using the eyetracker, w/ MC
- Installed all R analysis packages, playing around w/ creating tables (need help w/ gsub)
- Printed, cut out, and posted up (12 of 12) flyers
- Still reading dynamic statistical distribution papers
- Continuing to learn Esperanto via Duolingo

- Worked 27 hrs for Elika last week, working 27 hrs for Elika this week
Wesley
- Ran through the eye-tracking study with Madeline in eye-tracking mode
- Read various papers related to pen-in-the-mouth and took notes on procedure for recording stimuli
- Started to look into papers on drunken speech, particularly focused on verifying /s/ /sh/ sound changes
