Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volley principle was developed to explain how the auditory system can detect frequencies above 1000 Hz, which is the limit for individual action potentials to fire. It suggests that groups of neurons fire in a staggered pattern, or "volley", to encode these higher frequencies, overcoming the limitations of frequency theory. Place theory relates to how different frequencies of sound waves are detected based on their location on the basilar membrane in the ear, trichromatic theory is related to color perception, and location theory is not a widely recognized theory in the field of auditory perception.
