Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The duplex theory posits that humans use both intensity (level) differences and time (latency) differences to localize sound, with the method depending on the frequency of the sounds. For lower frequencies, time differences are more crucial, while for higher frequencies, intensity differences become more significant.
