Dr.Laboy's research on human hearing shows that if a person listens to a tone of 1,000 cycles per second (hertz),the acoustic nerve produces 1,000 action potentials per second.Dr.Laboy's results support the idea of ____.

Dr. Laboy's research supports the volley theory, which suggests that groups of neurons take turns firing in order to produce action potentials that match the frequency of the sound wave. In this case, the auditory nerve produces 1,000 action potentials per second when a tone of 1,000 Hz is heard, which is consistent with the volley theory. Topographical representation and convergence are not relevant to this specific research, and the place theory is not supported by the findings presented.
