C)volley principle
D)place theory

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given statement describes the volley principle, which is the idea that groups of neurons take turns firing to transmit information about pitches between a few hundred and 4,000 cycles per second. The frequency theory suggests that the rate at which neurons fire reproduces the pitch of a sound while the place theory posits that different pitches activate specific areas of the cochlea. The closure principle refers to the perceptual tendency to complete incomplete figures or forms.
