The objective of this experiment is to be able to locate the source of sound and discriminate presence of obstacles. Davis K, (2015) stated that Auditory localization or Sound localization is a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound. There are two general methods for sound localization, binaural cues and monaural cues. Binaural localization relies on the comparison of auditory input from two separate detectors. Therefore, most auditory systems feature two ears, one on each side of the head. The primary biological binaural cue is the split-second delay between the time when sound from a single source reaches the near ear and when it...

...Once your dog is trained you can enjoy and participate in many activities. It builds a mutual bond and a partnership for life. Edward Hoagland once said, “In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog so the environment will appreciate it” (Hoagland). Here we can see that Edward Hoagland explains that one benefit of dog training is that your dog will be welcomed in far more places, environments, and situations if they have been taught some basic manners. When you have guests over to your home, you won’t need to banish your well-behaved dog to another room, or crate, for fear that they will embarrass you. Amber Aben a professional dog trainer and coach, states, “The more time you spend with your dog, and more bonded you are with your dog, the better understanding you have of what their needs are, and what they are trying to communicate with you”(Aben). The initial bond with your dog is a tentative one; you don’t know each other very well yet. To strengthen that bond, you must spend time with them and do things together. Positioning, Obedience, and Rewards are three easy aspects of training that can easily make your dog become your best friend in no...

...which will be encountered if you interview children between the ages of 4 and 10 years. Depending upon the experience and ability of the child, the difficulties may remain after the age of 10. The tendency to say 'Yes'. Very young children are unwilling to assert themselves and to contradict an adult. They will, therefore, answer questions in any way they think you want them answered. Later, of course, children in the early teenage years may delight in confusing adults, which produces a different problem of interpretation. This means that you have to guard very closely against giving any hint of what you expect them to say. You have to encourage them to disclose their own opinion and this may take many reassurances that you want to know what they think, you want their own ideas, and that there are no right answers. Anything that looks like a test will either silence them or trigger things they know adults want to hear. There is also a strong 'acquiescence response' bias: children will tend to say 'yes', irrespective of the question, if they are anxious to please. So you should try to pose questions which are not open to yes or no responses. For instance, 'Did you like that?', would become, 'What did you think about that?' A 'Don't know' response must be treated cautiously. Never base a conclusion on 'Don't knows', especially one which asserts that children don't know. Literal interpretations. Young children interpret questions literally. You have to make sure that the...

...possibility of them being a distraction to those who are trying to put their best foot forward and end the term successful. Cell phones are most certainly a distraction in the classroom setting. This topic appeals to me because I was able to find a great deal of information on why cell phones are a disturbance to college classrooms. Cell phone usage in classrooms as a topic is sociologically important because of the fact that cell phones are used by almost all college students. Mobile phones are very technologically savvy. With some phones you can check the news, your e-mail or even surf the internet. People need a way to stay in contact with another, but during class time is a deterrent to the scholastic plight of fellow students. As time goes by, cell phones become more and more popular with the people. The fact that the technology of cell phone capability progresses quickly over time is a major change in society. In the early nineties the cell phone was not popular. At best people had a beeper holstered to their hip in case of emergencies. Beepers were unable to make calls as well so there was a need to find a phone; be it a landline or a telephone booth. Participant observation, Secondary data as well as Surveys are proper research methodologies used to conduct research on cell phone usage in college classrooms. The Symbolic Interaction Theory which views people as interactive beings through language is a sociological perspective that better explains the author’s topic. ...
