Lab Notebook of Kathryn Schuler

This is an index of all of the experiments I have run in graduate school. I keep a single summary file in the form of an iPython or R notebook for each experiment. Click on an experiment to view its summary. For more details on how I run experiments and document my work visit my experiment guide.



Word Segmentation

In this line of work I ask whether learners can use a statistcal learning mechanism to segment words from fluent speech.

Replications of original experiments

SRT

In this line of work I use a novel SRT-task paradigm to observe the time-course of statistical learning.

Hierarchical structure

In this line of work I ask how learners acquire hiearchically structured sytax and whether humans have a general cognitive assymetry bias for linearized or temporally presented hierarchies.
