Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • pinna

  • eardrum

Explicación

Pregunta 10 de 17

1

What are the direct receptors for hearing?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • hair cells

  • basilar cells

  • ossicles

  • cochleas

Explicación

Pregunta 11 de 17

1

What process allows us to hear pitch, according to place theory?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • There is differential movement of specific ossicles.

  • The entire cochlea vibrates at a speed equivalent to the wavelengths that stimulate the ear.

  • Vibrations occur at specific locations on the basilar membrane.

  • Specific hair cells are simultaneously stimulated all along the length of the semicircular canals.

Explicación

1

Imagine that the basilar membrane in the human ear were longer. What might you expect humans to be able to do, based on place theory?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • localize sounds more accurately

  • hear more sounds of lower frequency, but lose some higher frequency sounds

  • hear a wider range of sounds

  • detect sound waves that had a lower amplitude

Explicación

Pregunta 13 de 17

1

Which theory of hearing views the basilar membrane as being like a drumhead?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • place

  • timpani

  • opponent process

  • frequency

Explicación

Pregunta 14 de 17

1

The maximum firing rate for individual neurons is 1,000 neural impulses per second. What does this biological limitation mean for theories of perception?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • Trichromatic theory cannot fully explain colour perception.

  • Opponent process theory cannot fully explain colour perception.

  • Place theory cannot fully explain pitch perception.

  • Frequency theory cannot fully explain pitch perception.

Explicación

Pregunta 15 de 17

1

What is the major flaw in the frequency theory of pitch perception?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • It places the transduction process in the semicircular canals and not the cochlea.

  • Structurally, it is impossible for the basilar membrane to vibrate.

  • The action of the ossicles interacting with the auditory nerve was misidentified.

  • Neurons cannot fire fast enough to account for hearing tones higher than 1,000 cycles/second.

Explicación

Pregunta 16 de 17

1

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • place theory; both theories; frequency theory

  • place theory; frequency theory; place theory

  • frequency theory; place theory; both theories

  • frequency theory; both theories; place theory
