Reproducing the Alice analyses November 19, 2023 One of our projects last summer was to go back into the archives and dig out the code used for data analyses in all our papers published that use the Alice in Wonderland EEG datasets. That code has been tidied […]
Paper: Tung on prediction and memory retrieval September 24, 2023 Tzu-Yun Tung publishes the first paper from her dissertation! Combining ERPs with an experimental design using NP-ellipsis in Mandarin, this work tests how interference effects in memory retrieval can be ameliorated by predictability. The particular pattern of amelioration – most […]
Lab presentations at SNL2023: See you in Marseille September 24, 2023 Lab members will be presenting on decoding verb phrase construction, memory retreival during naturalistic comprehension, and morphological decomposition. We hope to see you there! Tung, Tzu-Yun Modeling memory retrieval during naturalistic comprehension. (Poster A46, Poster Session A Tuesday, October 24, […]
Jeonghwa Cho presents at AMLaP 2023 August 6, 2023 Do you need another excuse to visit San Sebastián, Spain for AMLaP 2023? Jeonghwa Cho will be presenting on two exciting projects: Poster: Sat Sep 2 14:00-15:10 Cross-language masked prefix priming for early and late bilinguals. (co-author Jonathan Brennan) Talk: […]
Paper: Comparing parsing strategies for a head-final language with RNNG August 6, 2023 Yushi Sugimoto (UMich PhD 2022) and Yohei Oseki lead this paper demonstrating an advantage for left-corner parsing, as implemented with their updated RNNG, to capture neural signals while participants read Japanese newspaper text. This is the first paper, to my […]
Paper: Parsing, CCG, and large language models August 6, 2023 Miloš Stanojevič led this tremendous effort to test alternative approaches to structure-building that vary across grammar formalism and eagerness and, simultaneously, tease apart structure-building from next-word predictability. We are so happy to share it! Stanojević, M., Brennan, J. R., Dunagan, […]
Honors theses on role-reversals, real-time neural-synchrony, and COVID sentiment May 3, 2023 Many congratulations to seniors in the lab who completed their honors theses! Shuchen Wen conducted an EEG experiment testing the timing of argument-structure by testing for N400 effects when argument roles were reversed in Ba- and Bei-constructions in Mandarin Chinese. […]
