Field Recording 8

Child Psychology Class In A Lecture Hall

In this clip you will hear Professor Cox discussing chapter 8 of our child psychology textbook.  He is discussing a child’s ability to solve problems or gain a broader perception of the world in the younger adolescent ages.  You will also hear the person in front of me typing in her notes on this topic, the person next to me shifting in his chair, and the low rumble of the heating system.

I attained permission from my professor to record his class session ahead of time.
