This article describes Let's Talk, a counseling center outreach program. Counselors hold walk-in hours across campus to engage students who might not otherwise seek counseling. Locations are chosen to reach underserved communities. Counselors offer informal consultation, a less formal alternative to traditional counseling.Este artículo describe Let's Talk (Hablemos), un programa de acercamiento a los centros de consejería. Los consejeros mantienen horas de puertas abiertas sin cita previa en distintos lugares del campus para atraer a estudiantes que de otra forma no buscarían acceso a la consejería. Las ubicaciones se eligen para alcanzar comunidades con servicios insuficientes. Los consejeros ofrecen consultas informales, una alternativa menos formal a la consejería tradicional.
It has been suggested that very young infants perceive in a common auditory and visual space. Aronson and Rosenbloom (1971) attempted to demonstrate this commonality by showing that infants become distressed by discrepancies between the visually and aurally specified locations of a speaker. However, this finding has not proved easy to replicate, and the present study also failed to confirm it. There are reasons to believe that the method of Aronson and Rosenbloom does not provide a strong test of their hypothesis.The results of Aronson and Rosenbloom (1971) seemed to show that even very young infants (30-55 days old) are aware of the relationship between aurally specified and visually specified locations. Their subjects behaved as if they knew that the place where one sees a person (her visually specified location) should coincide with the direction from which her voice is heard as coming. When a speaker's voice was artificially displaced 90 deg to the right or left, all of the experimental infants exhibited distress. In particular, there was a Significantly greater incidence of tongue protrusions during the auditory displacement than during control periods. This suggested the existence of an innate (or at least quickly learned) spatial coordination among sense modalities: a common auditory-visual space. However, McGurk and Lewis (1974) were unable to replicate this result: Their subjects exhibited no distress when a speaker's voice was displaced. The study reported here was performed to explore this issue further. METHODThe eight subjects of the present experiment (two girls and six boys) ranged in age from 39 to 58 days. Their mothers served as spe~kers. Mothers and infants were not separated by a Plexiglas window, as in Aronson and Rosenbloom's (1971) study; they were in the same 10 x 10 ft curtained cubicle, 24 in. apart. The subject was placed in a semi-reclining infant seat. To his right and left were two loudspeakers, 35 in. apart. The mother spoke into a tiny sensitive microphone, held 1 in. from her mouth by a headset. She spoke relatively softly; the amplification assured that the sound heard in the infant's position was localized entirely on the basis of the loudspeakers (as judged by adult pilot subjects). The mothers stood directly behind a waist-high periscope device attached to a television camera, which thus obtained a full-face view of the infant. The entire experimental session was videotaped.Each mother talked to her infant for 4 min. During the first and third minutes both loudspeakers were set at equal volume, so that her voice appeared to be coming from a normal central location. During the second and fourth minutes one speaker was turned off (order was counterbalanced across infants), so the sound came either from the left or the right rather than from the mother directly. This procedure differed from that of Aronson and Rosenbloom; they presented the mother's voice in its normal location for either 2 or 5 min and then displaced it only once for a single minute.
