Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The auditory association area is responsible for integrating and processing auditory information, interpreting it, and giving it meaning. The primary auditory cortex is responsible for initial processing of sound and determining its location, but it does not interpret meaning. The vestibular system is responsible for detecting changes in head position and movement for balance and spatial orientation. The basilar membrane is a structure in the inner ear that converts sound waves into electrical signals for the brain to interpret, but does not transform sensations into meaningful perception on its own.
