- identify the properties of sound waves that account forpitch and loudnessarrow_forwardUsing the ideas of the place theory of pitch and the tonotopic organization of the auditory cortex, explain how we perceive different pitches of sounds.arrow_forward1) During echolocation ______ are used. A) high frequency sounds B) low frequency sounds C) the frequency used in echolocation is irrelevant as long as it with the range of hearing of the animal. 2) Amniotes that can hear over a larger range of frequencies _____ . A) have a long basilar membrane that varies in width from very narrow with stiffer fibers to very wide with more pliable fibers B) have basilar membranes in all 3 of the semicircular canals, with each of the basilar membranes having a different width and stiffness" C) have hair cells with stereocilia and kinocilia in a large range of sizes D) have very stiff basilar membranes with strong fibersarrow_forward
- Fill in the blanks with the correct terms: Pitch corresponds best to the physical quality ___________ and loudness corresponds best to the physical quality ___________. __________ is the quality that differentiates sounds with the same perceived pitch, loudness, and duration. In general, humans can hear sounds between _____ Hz and _____ Hz, and they are most sensitive to sound between _____ Hz and _____ Hz. A _____ dB sound is perceived as twice as loud as a 20 dB sound. A _____ dB sound has an amplitude ten times greater than a 20 dB sound. A ______ periodic tone is made up of many ______ periodic tones called harmonics.arrow_forwardFill in the blanks: The structures that vibrate to produce sound are called the___________. A higher-pitched sound is produced when they are ___________; a lower-pitched sound is produced when they are ___________.arrow_forwardWhich among the statements is/are true? a. It is easy to determine the sound which is directly on the level of the ear.b. The easiest to determine is the sound in the sides of the head.c. The sound from back and the front of head are the easiest to locate.d. The sound from below and behind of the head is the most difficult to locate.arrow_forward
- One of the mechanisms that the auditory system uses to localize sound is referred to as interaural time difference (ITD). Where in the brain does this takes place and explain how this mechanism would enable you to localize a sound coming from your left side.arrow_forwardHow do we localize where sound is coming from and which structures are responsible? Select all that apply: a. The auditory nerve communicates with the vestibular nuclei to process information about the body's location b. Medial geniculate nucleus processes visual stimuli to locate visual cues associated with the sound c. The hair cells simultaneously process information about frequency as well as the location the sound originated in d. Lateral superior olives respond to differences in the amplitude of sound waves from each ear e. Medial superior olives respond to differences in the time it takes sound to arrive in each eararrow_forwardDiscuss how wave amplitude, wave frequency, and wave purity affect our psychological experience of sound.arrow_forward
