The discovery that high-frequency sounds trigger large vibrations near the beginning of the basilar membrane supports the ________ theory.
a) gate-control
b) frequency
c) Young-Helmholtz
d) opponent-process
e) place

Respuesta :

Answer:   place

Explanation:

The theory of place is a theory of hearing that our perception of sound depends on where each component frequency produces vibrations along the basilar membrane. According to this theory, the tone of a sound, such as a human voice or a musical sound, is determined by the places where the membrane vibrates, depending on the frequencies corresponding to the spatial arrangement of the place where the sounds of different frequency are processed in the brain and organization of the primary auditory neurons are treated.
