[Each time, the student listens to three short tunes. Two are the same and one is different. Each tune correlates to a different 3-dimensional symbol on screen which animates while the tune plays. Student decides which tune was different and clicks on the symbol for that tune. The first phrase was an example to show what to do.

/\ [ ] ( ) indicate which tune played for each symbol, with the odd one out in red.]
