If a person hears a tone of 3000 Hz,three groups of neurons take turns sending the message to the brain-the first group for the first 1000 Hz,the second group for the next 1000 Hz,and a third for the next 1000 Hz.This principle is known as the
A)volley principle.
B)place principle.
C)frequency principle.
D)opponent process principle.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle described in the question is the volley principle, which suggests that a group of neurons can work together to transmit a signal when individual neurons aren't capable of keeping up with the frequency of the sound wave. In this case, each group of neurons takes turns "firing" in response to the 3000 Hz tone, allowing the brain to perceive the sound accurately. The place principle refers to how different areas of the basilar membrane respond to specific frequencies of sound, while the frequency principle suggests that individual neurons fire at different rates in response to different frequencies. The opponent process principle refers to color vision, not auditory perception.
