Temporal Resolving Power--Sequencing
(Exerpts from the Auditory Perceptual Training Program)

The following two demonstrations provide one training approach to auditory sequencing--which sound came first. We have been discussing this as Temporal Resolving Power. In Task 1, the children have to discriminate the sequence of the sounds of objects. In Task 2, the children are listening to sequences of speech sounds.

These excerpts were taken from the Auditory Perceptual Training Program for Improving Auditory Perceptual Processes of Children in the Elementry Grades, by Belle Ruth Witkin, Ph.D. It was published by the Alameda County School Department, 224 West Winton Ave., Hayward, CA 94544, 1973.

Please keep in mind that these are only exerpts and that extensive work is done in the complete program prior to these exercises to prepare the children to do the tasks. The exercises were arranged to proceed from simple to more complex tasks.
