ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to thank Kristen Wallentinsen for her help with experimental logistics,
Renée Morgan for giving me her speakers, and Nathaniel Liberty for his unwavering support, problem-solving skills, and voice-over help. This project would have been impossible without guidance from Dr. Andrew Cohen, who introduced me to statistical analysis and helped with the interpretation of my experimental results. I would also like to thank my professors at Ithaca College who modeled great teaching and thinking.
