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 12
Describe how cochlear implants help restore hearing in individuals with profound sensorineural hearing loss.
Describe how the place theory accounts for pitch perception.
Describe the function of the oval window in auditory perception.
Describe the main difference between the place theory and frequency theory of pitch perception.
Describe the process by which sound waves travel from the outer ear to the auditory cortex.
Explain how humans are able to localize the source of a sound.
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) Eustachian tube
Which of the following best explains why a person with one ear covered has difficulty localizing sound? (1) Loss of pitch perception (2) Inability to detect loudness (3) Lack of binaural cues (4) Damage to the cochlea
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) Eustachian tube
Which of the following best describes the function of hair cells in the cochlea? (1) Producing sound (2) Transducing mechanical vibrations into neural signals (3) Amplifying sound (4) Equalizing pressure
Which of the following best describes the function of the basilar membrane? (1) Amplifies sound (2) Separates the outer and middle ear (3) Vibrates in response to sound and supports hair cells (4) Produces earwax
Which of the following best describes the function of the round window in the cochlea? (1) Transduces sound (2) Relieves pressure in the cochlea (3) Amplifies sound (4) Produces earwax
The ________ is a thin membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves and separates the outer ear from the middle ear.
The ________ is the first structure in the auditory pathway to receive input from both ears.
The ________ is the main auditory relay center in the thalamus.
The ________ is the snail-shaped structure in the inner ear that contains the sensory receptors for hearing.
True or False: Auditory adaptation refers to the decrease in sensitivity to a constant sound stimulus over time.
True or False: Damage to the hair cells in the cochlea is usually reversible.
True or False: The amplitude of a sound wave affects its loudness.
True or False: The auditory cortex is located in the temporal lobe of the brain.
