| Description | Using a computer, children are directed to “click on” pictures of music that they like (which includes a number of popular children’s music selections from the United States) which results in the child listening (through headphones) to corresponding music excerpts. While the child is clicking and sampling music, CMPAC is recording the: order of listening, the length of listening, and which song selections were sampled. |
