The purpose of this project is to examine two methods in speech perception to solve this problem and also to evaluate their time efficiency and data reliability. These two methods, frequently used in psychological measures, are method of limit and method of constant stimuli. Preliminary results showed that the method of limit was more time efficient while both methods provided quite reliable data. The advantages and disadvantages of the two methods will be discussed.Item Competition and forgetting during context-based episodic memory retrieval(2016-11) Jeanneret, Stephanie; Hollenbeck, Mark; Dutcher, Anthony; Lewis-Peacock, JarrodItem Creating a sustainable supply chain(2014) Bellino, EllenThe problem: 4.5 lbs. of trash is produced per day by the average American; planned and perceived obsolescence; United Nations is calculating the cost of pollution and other environmental damages caused by the 3,000 largest public corporations summed up around $2.2 trillion in greenhouse gas emission, other pollution, and water degradation.

While these stereotypes are still in place, a small group is on a mission to keep the flavor of the meals, but make it healthier. By examining the film "Soul Food", and selected episodes of "The Boondocks", and "Welcome to Sweetie Pie's", I plan to analyze the effect media representation has on the perception of soul food and how it is harmful to a movement aimed at decreasing diseases caused by an unhealthy diet.Item Education y Justicia: A Living History of the Latinx Experience in U.T Austin(2018) Hernandez, LukeItem The Effect of Candidate Race on Federal Campaign Contributions(2014) Singer, DavidItem The effect of speaking style adaptations on speech perception in noise by native and non-native listeners(2016-04) DuBois, Michelle; Smith, Irene; Meemann, Kirsten; Smiljanic, Rajka
