VietSpeech study 2 statistics

Today Dr Cen (Audrey) Wang and I spent the day creating syntax for SPSS (a statistics program) so that we can undertake our analysis of the children's and their families' English and Vietnamese consonants, vowels and tones. We are trialing it with one family to ensure we understand the subtleties and complexities of the data before we finalize data from all of the participants.  It is exciting that we are beginning to see some results.

Sarah's SPSS PhD visit

This week Sarah Masso was in Bathurst to work with Audrey Wang and myself on her next PhD paper. Sarah currently is exploring change in preschoolers' polysyllable maturity over 3 time points. Audrey worked with Sarah on her data using SPSS, and together they imputed data and statistically described change over time. During the visit Sarah also supported Ben's data entry and analysis, and we celebrated Sarah's PhD birthday. It was a very productive week.
