What Determines Auditory Similarity? The Effect Of Stimulus Group And Methodology, Km Aldrich, Ej Hellier, J Edworthy

Two experiments on the internal representation of auditory stimuli compared the pairwise and grouping methodologies as means of deriving similarity judgements.

Faculty Scholarship

In Part I of this article, I explore the importance of introducing law students to tribal law and the culture of other local legal systems early and often.
