Vanessa and Rachael will present sketches of experiments they’d like to run, with a view to doing a bit of group brainstorming and helping them firm up their plans. All welcome as usual, but this will hopefully be a very informal and fluid meeting, probably with lots of shouting. Usual time and place: Tuesday, 11am, DSB 1.17.

Vanessa: I’m designing an experiment in response to two recent articles that coupled frequency-dependent copying models to US census data on baby names.

Rachael: creating artificial community membership to see if people exploit that knowledge (or not) in a communication task
