Florian

1. Edited

   • Fedzechkina, Chu, and Jaeger on dependency length minimization in an artificial language for resubmission to Psychological Science. (paper, SI, and letter). one more round.

   • Bushong and Jaeger on uncertainty maintenance for CogSci.

   • Liu, Burchill, and Jaeger on Kamide replication for CogSci.

   • Yan, Kleinschmidt, & Jaeger for CogSci.

2. Reports: continued annual NIH report. Submitted!

3. Feedback on Shaorong's project on unsupervised learning. Dave joined us.

Xin

Finished a campus visit (job interview). Back to work.

1. Sandboxed the priming study. Needs to revise the test lists a bit and assess the variation of RTs.
2. Worked on revision of the sleep study. Almost done.
3. Read a few review papers on neural implementation of probabilistic inference.

Andrew

1. Started getting out ahead of our next Continuing Review (Crosslinguistic, which we'll get the 90 day warning about soon; we WILL be early this time) by validating the data in RedCap against my old subject spreadsheet. It is not pretty. Going to have to dig through drawers and get RAs entering missing data.

2. Fixed the Race question in the RedCap questionnaire for Adaptation, which necessitated dumping the race data for Adaptation in RedCap and having an RA (Bethany) re-enter it in the corrected format.

3. Had Stephen enter a bunch of questionnaires into RedCap for Crosslinguistic from Masha's subjects from last year.

4. Started looking at the CrowdExp code again and deciding what needs work next.
