While the typical wug-test yielded probabilistic behavior matching statistical details of the English lexicon\, when the memory task was introduced participants (1) diverged more from each other in behavior\, (2) behaved more categorically as individuals\, and (3) matched only broad generalizations about the English stress system as a whole\, and did not match the same details they matched in the first experiment\, either as individuals or in aggregate.  I discuss possible explanations for these apparent effects of the memory task on participants’ ability to use their English stress knowledge\, and possible future directions for learning more.

Katsika et al. 2014) in the speech of 7 speakers of American English.  Here\, the lip aperture trajectories of 800+ individual pauses were gold-standard annotated by a member of the research team\, and then subjected to principal component analysis.  These analyses were then used to train a support vector machine (SVM) classifier\, which achieved a 96% classification accuracy in cross validation tests\, with a Cohen’s Kappa showing machine-to-annotator agreement of 0.79\, suggesting the potential for improvements in speed\, consistency\, and objective characterization of gestures. \nThese methods of modeling feature importance and classifying curves using transparent and interpretable machine learning both demonstrate concrete methods which are potentially useful and applicable to a variety of questions in phonetics\, and potentially\, in linguistics in general.

She is a renown expert on bilingualism in language acquisition and language processing among other topics. She recently moved to UC Irvine from UC Riverside. \nAbstract: In the last two decades there has been an upsurge of research on the bilingual mind and brain. Although the world is multilingual\, only recently have cognitive and language scientists come to see that the use of two or more languages provides a unique lens to examine the neural plasticity engaged by language experience. But how? Bilinguals proficient in two languages appear to speak with ease in each language and often switch between the two languages\, sometimes in the middle of a sentence. In this last period of research we have learned that the two languages are always active\, creating a context in which there is mutual influence and the potential for interference. Yet proficient bilinguals rarely make errors of language\, suggesting that they have developed exquisite mechanisms of cognitive control. Contrary to the view that bilingualism adds complication to the language system\, the new research demonstrates that all languages that are known and used become part of the same language system. A critical insight is that bilingualism provides a tool for examining aspects of the cognitive and neural architecture that are otherwise obscured by the skill associated with native language performance in monolingual speakers. In this talk I illustrate this approach and consider the consequences that bilingualism holds more generally for cognition and learning.
