Abstract

We 
were 
able 
to 
achieve 
most 
of 
the 
goals 
established
 in 
the 
MEG 
proposal 
we
 submitted
 in 
the 
Fall 
of 
2008 
(for
 a 
grant 
Winter, 
2009). 

We 
did 
end 
up
 adjusting
 the 
project 
and 
use 
of 
the 
funds 
slightly 
to 
adapt 
to 
changing 
needs 
and 
to 
fit 
the
 personnel 
available 
to 
accomplish
 the 
tasks. 

One 
example
 of 
adapting 
was
 that 
we
 had 
an 
outstanding 
graduate 
student 
in 
Linguistics 
who 
was 
able 
to 
team
 up 
with
 several 
undergraduates 
to
 create
 an 
Elicited
 Imitation 
(EI) 
test 
in 
Japanese. 

Much 
of
 our
 development 
occurred 
in 
Japanese
 as
 a
 result.
