Question 42

Question
Julia decided to go to the movies with her friend. They saw sharks in 3D, and had to wear special 3D glasses to see the movie. Julia tells her friend that the reason why they have to wear the special glasses is because there are two images being projected onto the screen, and these glasses allow one image to fall on the left eye and the other to fall on the right eye. Julia says that this is called stereopsis, and needs a number of additional pictorial cues to produce the illusion of depth in a 2D image. What is incorrect about these statements?
Answer
  • 3D glasses do not project one image onto each eye, rather they project both images onto both eyes but at noncorresponding points to create retinal disparity
  • This effect is not called stereopsis, it is called absolute disparity
  • No additional pictorial cues are needed for this effect to take place
  • There are actually 4 images being projected onto the screen, with two falling on each eye at corresponding points to alow the eyes to use binocular depth cues

Question 43

Question
In order for the visual system to calculate disparity, it must compare the images of objects on the left and right retinas in pairs, for example matching the image of a cactus on both eyes. However, objects sometimes stimulate different points on each retina, which has raised the question of how our brain matches up these images and knows to categorise them as pairs. What is this question called?
Answer
  • The correspondence problem
  • Emmert's law
  • The disparity problem
  • Perspective convergence

Question 44

Question
Outside of the primary visual cortex, where are neurons that respond to absolute disparity likely to be found?
Answer

When Lily completely extends her arm and holds up her thumb, she finds that the phone in the distance is exactly covered by her thumb. What does this tell us about the image of the phone on the retina?
Answer
  • It has a visual angle of approximately 2 degrees
  • It is the object that is the furthest away from Lily
  • It falls on the horopter
  • It is being viewed with binocular depth cues

Question 57

Question
Francine and Roald are talking to each other after their perception lecture on hearing. Francine says that she reckons the perceived pitch of a sound is indicated by the place on the basilar membrane at which the most vibration is occurring. This best lines up with which theory of pitch perception?
Answer
  • Place theory
  • Temporal theory
  • Amplitude modulation theory
  • Vibration theory

Question 58

Question
Why is the basilar membrane sometimes referred to as a frequency analyser?
Answer
  • As the place of maximum vibration on the basilar membrane depends on frequency, it functions as a filter that sorts tones by frequency
  • Auditory nerve fibres on the basilar membrane fire in synchrony with the rising and falling pressure of the pure tone to indicate frequency
  • Stereocilia located on the basilar membrane are mechanically gated and organised in height order, thus indicating which frequency occurs where
  • The tuning curves of the basilar membrane become wider at higher frequencies, and the basilar membrane analyses this to produce the perception of pitch

Question 61

Question
Chelsea is participating in a research experiment. The researchers are trying to determine how well people can locate sounds in the azimuth dimension. They get Chelsea to sit in a dark room and play her various sounds at various locations, each sound is played either towards the top of the room or the bottom of the room. The left-right position of the sound stays the same, and the distance of the sound from Chelsea also stays the same. After Chelsea completes the study, she receives $20 as compensation for her time. What is the main error with this experiment?
Answer
  • This experiment is not testing the azimuth dimension, it is testing elevation
  • The researchers did not control for individual differences in hearing between participants
  • Researchers are not allowed to provide money to people for completing research studies, as this is viewed as a form of bribery
  • To accurately test sound localisation in the azimuth dimension, the researchers should have used a combination of binaural and monaural cues

When the researchers look at the fMRI, what are they likely to find?
Answer
  • The areas most responsive to the pitch-evoking stimulus will be found in the anterior auditory cortex
  • The areas most responsive to the noise stimulus will be found in the anterior auditory cortex
  • The areas most responsive to the pitch-evoking stimulus will be found in the posterior auditory cortex
  • The areas most responsive to the noise stimulus will be found in the posterior auditory cortex

Question 64

Question
Primrose is listening to a bunch of different sounds and seeing if she can determine where they are without looking at them. Primrose knows that her brain is likely to be using a number of binaural cues to help her determine the location of these sounds. Which cue will be most useful when she is trying to determine the location of high frequency sounds, and why?
Answer
  • Interaural level difference, as her head will reduce the intensity of high-frequency sounds that reach the ear farthest from the sound source
  • Interaural time difference, as her head will reduce the intensity of high-frequency sounds that reach the ear farthest from the sound source
  • Interaural level difference, as high-frequency sounds travel fastest to the ear closest to the sound source
  • Interaural time difference, as high-frequency sounds travel fastest to the ear closest to the sound source

Question 65

Question
Milly is participating in a research study, where they are putting a mold in everyone's ears that changes the shape of the pinnae. Milly is asked to wear this mold for 20 days, and the researchers measure her ability to localise a sound along the elevation coordinate before wearing the mold, on the first day of wearing the mold, on the final day of wearing the mold, and right after removing the mold. What are the results likely to show?
Answer
  • Milly will not be able to localise sounds along the elevation coordinate while wearing the mold, as this localisation is dependent on the pinnae. When the mold is removed, she will be able to localise as normal
  • Milly will be able to localise sounds along the elevation coordinate to the same degree despite the shape of the pinnae being changed, as people use a variety of monaural cues to determine elevation.
  • Milly will still be able to localise the elevation of sounds on the first day of wearing the mold, but not to the same degree. However, after wearing the mold for 20 days, she will have improved localisation due to adaptation. When removing the mold and measuring localisation directly after this, her localisation will remain excellent.
  • Milly will still be able to localise the elevation of sounds on the first day of wearing the mold, but not to the same degree. However, after wearing the mold for 20 days, she will have improved localisation due to adaptation. When removing the mold and measuring localisation directly after this, her localisation will again be not very good, until about 20 days has passed to allow her to readapt to the new shape of the pinnae.

Question 66

Question
Which of the following is an example of physiological evidence for sound localisation?
Answer
  • There are neurons called coincidence detectors which only fire when both signals coincide by arriving at the neuron simultaneously; the firing representing that ITD = 0
  • There are neurons called coincidence detectors which only fire when both signals coincide by arriving at the neuron simultaneously; the firing representing that ILD = 0
  • When people hear sound coming from two areas, they perceive the sound as coming from the source that reaches the ear first
  • When people hear sound coming from two areas, they perceive the sound as coming from the source that reaches the ear last

Question 67

Question
Carol is watching the TV while her brother watches youtube on his phone. Her brother decides it would be funny to play the same program that Carol is watching on TV onto his phone. However, he can't get the timing to line up, and in reality, the sound coming from his phone is 1 second slower than the sound coming from the TV. Carol's dad then walks into the room with his eyes closed. The ability of her dad to recognise that the sounds are coming from different sources due to the fact that they start at different times is reliant on which principle of auditory grouping?
Answer
  • Onset time
  • Lagging heuristic
  • Location
  • Interaural time difference

Answer
  • formant transitions

Question 70

Question
Why is it hard to design a machine that can perceive acoustic signals based on analysis of phonemes?
Answer
  • There is no simple relationship between phoneme and acoustic signal
  • The computational power required to design such a machine is higher than we can accommodate for with current technology
  • The acoustic signal associated with a phoneme is too stable and doesn't provide enough nuance for computers to decipher
  • Computers are too good at perceptual constancy, thus do not perceive acoustic signals in the way humans can

Question 71

Question
Research has highlighted that for the sounds /di/ and /du/, we perceive the /d/ in each sound as the same, despite the acoustic signal being different. This difference in acoustic signal is explained by which source of variation?
Answer

  • Phonemic boundary
  • Phonemic restoration

Question 72

Question

  • A combination of the two sounds, for example /da/ and /ta/ combine to make /ga/
  • Two different sounds
  • Two combined sounds, for example /da/ and /ta/ combine to make /ga/ twice

Question 73

Question
Imogen is watching the TV. The news reporter is talking about the weather for the next week. When she says the words "farther away", her lips move in a way that matches "farther away", but the sound glitches, so that it is similar to if somebody said "barther away". What is Imogen likely to perceive the reporter as saying?
Answer
  • Imogen will not notice the glitch, and hear the reporter as saying "farther away" based on her lip movements
  • Imogen will notice the glitch, and hear the reporter as saying "barther away" based on this audio
  • Imogen will notice the glitch, and combine information from the visual and auditory system to perceive the reporter as saying "garther away"
  • Imogen will notice the glitch, but due to her previous knowledge on commonly used words in the English language, will perceive the reporter as saying "farther away"

  • Broca's aphasia
  • Stroke
  • Word deafness

Question 77

Question
Which of the following is NOT an example of evidence that indicates plasticity occurs in speech perception?
Answer
  • Infants at 6 months old can tell the difference between sounds that create all of the speech used in the world, but by 12 months they have lot the ability to discriminate between sounds that do not appear in their language
  • Japanese infants at 6 months can tell the difference between /ra/ and /la/, but cannot do this at 12 months
  • American infants who were exposed to 9 months of Mandarin lessons via DVD were able to discriminate between Mandarin sounds at 12 months to the same degree as either Mandarin-speaking or 6-month-old infants
  • As they gain experience with their native language through social interactions and hearing people speak, infants become better at discriminating between phonemes that are distinguished within their language, and worse at discriminating between phonemes that are not distinguished
