PSYCH QUIZ

QuestionAnswer
frequency the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time (for example, per second).
pitch a tone’s experienced highness or lowness; depends on frequency.
middle ear the chamber between the eardrum and cochlea containing three tiny bones (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) that concentrate the vibrations of the eardrum on the cochlea’s oval window.
cochlea a coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear; sound waves traveling through the cochlear fluid trigger nerve impulses.
inner ear the innermost part of the ear, containing the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs.
sensorineural hearing loss hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea’s receptor cells or to the auditory nerves; the most common form of hearing loss, also called nerve deafness.
conduction hearing loss a less common form of hearing loss, caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea.
cochlear implant a device for converting sounds into electrical signals and stimulating the auditory nerve through electrodes threaded into the cochlea.
place theory the theory that links the pitch we hear with the place where the cochlea’s membrane is stimulated.
frequency theory (also called temporal theory) the theory that the rate of nerve impulses traveling up the auditory nerve matches the frequency of a tone, thus enabling us to sense its pitch.
gate-control theory the theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological “gate” that blocks pain signals or allows them to pass on to the brain.
olfaction the sense of smell.
kinesthesia our movement sense—our system for sensing the position and movement of individual body arts.
vestibular sense our sense of body movement and position that enables our sense of balance.
sensory interaction the principle that one sense may influence another, as when the smell of food influences its taste.
embodied cognition the influence of bodily sensations, gestures, and other states on cognitive preferences and judgments.
