Met with Kodi and talked about the future of all things. 1. Met with Xin and went through NIH grant's strategy, discussed the studies, improvements to them, related literature, and follow-up experiments. 1. Met with Johan Sjons (grad at Stockholm University, CS) to talk about this research ideas in the domain of acquisition. 1. Responded to press/blog related query about the information density of writing systems and the efficiency of typing systems given recent technological advances. 1. Dealt with some other very time-consuming issues. 1. '''Attended''' ''LabPhon'' for the first time. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I missed the first few days, but I saw a number of interesting talks. (Saw Dave's talk, but unfortunately missed Zach's and Kodi's posters!) The most striking thing about the conference though was the number of high-quality conversations about study ideas I had. There were too many breaks, but the conversations were good. === Kodi === === Xin === |

| 1. Boto people finally(!!) [[https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/3563|merged my MTurk API update]]. Apparently they just had to get around to adding tests. Expect it in boto 2.42.0 whenever that comes out. | |

| 1. Read Kuperberg & Jaeger (2016), and thought about expectation generation. Considered reading a few papers (e.g., Fruchter, Linzen, Wester-lund, & Marantz, 2015) to think about the kinds of tasks one can run to check the expectations that listeners might have. 1. Thought about the design of my kid study, chatted with Mike about possible simpler studies that will help us look at what kids can and cannot do. Wondered a lot about what I would really like to learn from this whole experience of having some kids who seemingly notice that underinformative utterances are ambiguous vs those that seem untroubled. 1. Thought about a follow up task for Bethany et al's replication of Grodner and Sedivy. 1. Read through Wes' report on the ideas we've been chatting about / piloting. |
Lab Meeting, Summer 2016, Week 10
Awe- and Aw-inspiring readings (or just stuff you think deserves a mention)
There's a simulate function in lme4 that (as you'd expect) simulates data from an lmer-style model formula, given parameters. This makes it super easy to do power analyses! A worked example from Ben Bolker himself. -DFK
