The design for children's learning environment need to incorporate both the way children use their senses in the natural environment and take into account their age-dependent perceptual and cognitive abilities.
I believe since my writing focuses on children, sound and learning. I should therefore discuss on children's cognition and sensory developmental abilities relating to auditory perception. Something like this in my writings.
I have done a bit of reading in this area and was surprised to discover that children's ability to perceive sound relative to their level of cognitive development; I found in literature on music education!
I found this in the research of Morrongiello, B., Roes, C., (1990) Developmental changes in children's perception of musical sequences: Effects of musical training. Developmental Psychology, Vol 26.5, pp. 814-20
and
Gromko, J., Russell, C., (2003) Relationships among Young Children's Aural Perception, Listening Condition and Accurate Reasoning of Graphic Listening Maps. Journal of Research in Music Education, Vol 51.4,pp.333-342
The research of Morrongiello and Gromko may support my proposal in its result and findings where they noted that the use of sound augments responsive environments for children.
