Trainings
participation in a number of trainings related to the programming and analysis of experiments:
– statistics workshop
– programming and analysis of eye-tracking experiments
– programming experiments in Presentation
– recording, programming and analysis of ERP experiments
– programming experiments in PsychoPy and E-prime
International collaboration
Participation in the mobility program funded by DAAD – the goal of this program is to develop joint research with a group of corpus linguistis from Humboldt University. We are interested in comparing difference measures of collocation strength in idioms and collocations in corpus and psycholinguistic studies.
