Brezack, Natalie Giles 2014-04-21T21:22:04Z 2014-04-21T21:22:04Z 2013-06 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/17453 Submitted to the Undergraduate Library Research Award scholarship competition: 2013-2014. 78 pages. Research by Kuhl, Coffey-Corina, Padden, and Dawson, 2005, demonstrated that typically developing infants prefer "motherese" speech to a non-speech analog. In contrast, children with autism spectrum disorder show the reverse preference, and the degree to which this is true predicts their developmental progress in processing properties of speech streams. I am investigating possible parallels to these findings in children's processing of human action; specifically, whether developmental skills in preschool-aged children predict the degree to which they prefer "motionese" versus a non-action analog (or the reverse), and whether the strength of their preference predicts the sophistication of their processing of intentional action. Preliminary results based on participation from forty 2- to 3-year-olds indicate a significant correlation between executive function skills and degree of preference for motionese versus the non-action analog. Should these findings be borne out in the full sample, they point to important links between the development of language and intentional action processing, and they may have implications for designing interventions for children developing atypically. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Thane, Lindsay M. 2014-04-21T21:11:15Z 2014-04-21T21:11:15Z 2013-04-29 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/17452 Submitted to the Undergraduate Library Research Award scholarship competition: 2013-2014. 91 pages. During the post 9/11 era the President made claims to expansive Commander-in-Chief Powers, yet the United States’ functioning as a constitutional democracy necessitates a sharing of power among all three branches. Executive claims to prerogative powers were scrutinized by the Court for disregarding the civil liberties of detainees at Guantánamo Bay, an unprecedented step which led to this inquiry of whether the Court’s post 9/11 decisions curtailed unilateral Executive policy making and safeguarded the civil liberties afforded to detainees at Guantánamo? This study analyzed the Court’s decisions in the terror cases and their effect on Executive policies, as well as Congress’ activeness in shaping detainee policy and placing checks on the Bush Administration’s prerogative powers. The Court’s decisions were effective in restraining Executive power, but they only somewhat protected and restored the detainees’ civil liberties. This study provides a framework which outlines how civil liberties can begin to be restored. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Erlandson, Jon Sanchez, Gabriel 2014-04-21T21:01:44Z 2014-04-21T21:01:44Z 2014-01 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/17451 Submitted to the Undergraduate Library Research Award scholarship competition: 2013-2014. 59 pages. Anthropologists have long believed that Native Americans on the Northern Oregon Coast did not actively hunt cetaceans; however, archaeological evidence suggests otherwise. My project utilizes ethnographic data, comparative artifact analysis, radiocarbon dating, and blood residue analysis to investigate whether whales may have been hunted during prehistoric times along the Northern Oregon Coast. An artifact from the Par-Tee site (35CLT20), a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) phalange with an embedded bone harpoon point, provides evidence of whale hunting. The dimensions of the embedded harpoon point were determined using computed tomography (CT) scanning in order to complete comparative analysis. Based on comparative analysis three harpoon typologies were selected for blood residue analysis. Blood residue analysis confirmed the use of the leister harpoon for trout, salmon, and steelhead fishing. In addition, future C14 dating will provide a time marker for active or opportunistic whale hunting within Oregon. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

This essay explores how the genre of the artist’s book, especially the appropriative manner of artist’s book, may be used as a method of literary criticism. The central argument of the paper is that the book artist, when using a preexisting work of writing to form their own artist’s book, has the potential to not only create an object of interest and beauty, but also a work of intimate and scathing criticism. To demonstrate this point, the paper analyzes three separate artist’s books: A Humument by Tom Phillips, Tree of Codes by Jonathan Saffran-Foer, and Legendary, Lexical, Loquacious Love by Eve Rhymer, each of which represents a different method by which the book artist is able formulate a critique of the original text they have altered. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.
