Questão 10 de 17

1

What are the direct receptors for hearing?

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • hair cells

  • basilar cells

  • ossicles

Explicação

Questão 11 de 17

1

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

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • 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.

Explicação

Questão 12 de 17

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?

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • 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

Explicação

Questão 13 de 17

1

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • place

  • timpani

  • opponent process

  • frequency

Explicação

Questão 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?

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • 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.

Explicação

Questão 15 de 17

1

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

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • 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.

Explicação

Questão 16 de 17

  • place theory; both theories; frequency theory

  • place theory; frequency theory; place theory

  • frequency theory; place theory; both theories

  • frequency theory; both theories; place theory
