The Cup
Parent makes sounds from different positions using a cup and spoon, then observes whether baby locates the sound source by turning. The activity introduces sound discrimination by pairing one sound with a reward (toy) and another without. The agent coaches the parent to observe auditory localization and early cognitive discrimination.
