An Example of an Expressive Symbolic Task in the AUDITORY MODALITY:

This is an example of an EXPRESSIVE SYMBOLIC task in the Auditory Modality. Please note that the instructions must be given prior to testing the child or adult. This is done through pantomime and/or by simple modeling. This is necessary, of course, because we do not know before we test what the child's ability is to understand langauge.

The first task is to have the person listen to a sound.

The second task is have the person TELL us as much as possible about the sound that was heard.

(Please allow around 30 seconds for the Example audio files to download)
(and please don't forget to hit the BACK button on your Browser when the sound is finished.

Task 1
Listen to this sound...

Task 2
Tell me as much as you can about the sound you heard...
