Abstract

18 nursery school Ss were tested on 2 auditory localization tasks and a visual control task. After the initial test, 3 equivalent groups were formed. The groups received various auditory training procedures for several weeks, and improvements in localization were assessed periodically. Auditory training with visual confirmation produced the most improvement compared to a non-trained control group, but auditory training with no visual confirmation was also effective. The training procedures were especially effective for younger Ss. Despite large differences in localization ability at the beginning of the study, by the end the younger Ss had improved to virtually the same level as the older Ss. There was thus no evidence to suggest a qualitative difference in the perceptual integration abilities of younger and older nursery school Ss.
