Question

In the context of the auditory system, the _____ was developed to overcome the limitations of the frequency theory.

Answer 1

Answer:

Volley theory

Explanation:

Frequency theory states that humans perceive sound based on patterns of time to which the neurons respond to sound in the cochlea. So the properties of sound like pitch of a pure tone is perceived by the neuron firing pattern. Frequency theory proposed that only one neuron was firing at a rate that mimics the frequency of the sound. This is not true, so a theory in which proposed that groups of neurons were responsible was born called Volley theory.

Answer 2

The appropriate response would be the Volley theory. This expresses gatherings of neurons of the auditory system, to react to a sound by firing action possibilities somewhat out of stage with each other so when consolidated, a more prominent frequency of sound can be encoded and sent to the brain to be analyzed.
