Again, it should be remembered that activities are intended
as a guide for the teacher. The situations are instructional in
nature, and dialogue between teacher and learner is given
only to facilitate an accurate description of the situation and
potential interaction between the learner and the teacher.
Diagrams are provided for several conditions to illustrate the

Diagrams are provided for several conditions to illustrate the

Each activity is performed with the learner and the sound
source in a stationary position at the time the sound is being
emitted. After each condition is performed, the sound source
is turned off and then moved to another position when
necessary. The next condition is explained to the learner,
and then the sound source is turned on. The purpose is to
increase the student’s ability to recognize and describe
accurately the location of sound.

Instructor: “Describe the sound you are hearing.”
3. Have the learner give other examples of auditory

Activity Two: Locating height of sound source
1. Assume initial position: Sound source is placed directly
in front of the learner at a distance of 4 to 10 feet.
Describe the sound in terms of its height. The sound
characteristics should remain the same for the complete
range of height position (e.g., soft sound, medium tone,
slow rate).
