Lab Meeting, Summer 2015, Week 9

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

What we did over last week

Florian

1. Feedback on Zach's project: "What's in an accent? Estimating joint (super-linear) increases in confusability due to multiple shifted phonetic continua".
2. Feedback on Linda's most recent whale-like study of causality (320 participants, of which 120 are usable ..., but the results are there if one looks only at the first few block of testing).
3. Feedback on Maryam's outline for her review paper on speech perception.
4. Feedback on Masha's most recent set of studies on constituent length and ordering preferences. Long story short ;): Masha finds long before short ordering in verb-final (SOV/OSV-varying) languages but short before long in verb-initial (VSO/VOS-varying) languages! A really nice and clear finding.

Andrew

Olga

1. Got the test question portion running of the tutorial
2. Met with Florian to discuss the template, is a go after the bugs are fixed
3. Met with Andrew, created a github account, made the tutorial under version control, got the source tree app, and identified the three major things that need to be fixed. After Andrew takes a look at it will work on making revisions.
4. Looked into what the RAs should be working on/ what type of work they're doing. Waiting for a response
5. Started my Data Structures class and cried a little on the inside.
