Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The elevation of a sound source can be determined by the spectral shape cue, which refers to the modifications to the sound wave as it travels through the folds and ridges of the outer ear, also known as the pinna. Therefore, the correct choice is A. The basilar membrane is not relevant in determining the elevation of a sound source, while the interaural time difference is used for determining the horizontal position of a sound source.
