Answer
more
less
double
half
the same
Question 6
Question
The physiological mechanism for loudness is proposed to be..
Answer
The more neighbouring neurons that are firing together result in the sound being perceived as louder.
The faster the vibrations of the hair cells the louder the sound is perceived.
Stronger activation of a singular tuned cell.
Interaural differences between the ears used to calculate sound levels.
