Auditory Perception
Psychology ⇒ Sensation and Perception
Auditory Perception starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Auditory Perception.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
Describe how damage to the hair cells in the cochlea can affect hearing.
Describe how the brain determines the location of a sound source.
Describe the difference between monaural and binaural cues in auditory perception.
Describe the function of the auditory nerve in the process of hearing.
Describe the role of the basilar membrane in pitch perception.
Explain how cochlear implants can help individuals with severe hearing loss.
Explain how the auditory system processes complex sounds such as speech or music.
A person is unable to hear high-frequency sounds but can hear low-frequency sounds. Which part of the cochlea is most likely damaged? (1) Base (2) Apex (3) Middle (4) Semicircular canals

Which of the following best describes the function of the pinna? (1) Amplifies sound (2) Collects and directs sound waves into the ear canal (3) Converts sound to electrical signals (4) Maintains balance
Which of the following best describes the place theory of pitch perception? (1) Different frequencies stimulate different places along the basilar membrane. (2) All frequencies stimulate the same place on the basilar membrane. (3) Pitch is determined by the rate of nerve impulses. (4) Pitch perception does not involve the basilar membrane.
The ________ is a thin membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves and separates the outer ear from the middle ear.
The ________ is a tiny bone in the middle ear that is attached to the eardrum and transmits vibrations to the anvil.
The ________ is the first structure in the auditory pathway to receive input from both ears.
The ________ is the smallest bone in the human body and is found in the middle ear.
True or False: Humans can typically hear sounds in the frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
True or False: Sound localization is more accurate for sounds coming from the side than from directly in front or behind.
True or False: The auditory cortex is located in the frontal lobe of the brain.
True or False: The auditory system can distinguish between different sound sources even when they are producing sounds at the same frequency.
