Learner Stationary and Sound
Source Moving
Each of the following activities should be demonstrated 
at distances near and far from the learner (Approximately: 
near-1 to 3 feet; far-4 to 15 feet). Aim sound source directly 
toward learner at all times.
Activity One: Localizing sound in relation to each
side of the body
  1.   Assume initial position: Instructor stands a specifi c 
distance in front of learner with sound source aimed 
at learner’s head level.
Instructor: “Where is the sound?”
Learner: “In front of me.”
Continue moving around the learner stopping on the right 
side, behind, and left side of the learner.
Instructor: “Where is the sound in relation to your body?”
If the learner is familiar with telling time and understands 
the relationship of the situation, describe the localization in 
terms of clock positions (i.e., three, six, nine o’clock). If the 
learner has diffi culty with this task, have him point to the 
sound source continually as it moves.
