Behavioural Neuroscience - Sound Waves

3 important questions on Behavioural Neuroscience - Sound Waves

Example: Cat meow

How does sound travel through air?

Cat's meow will disturb air molecules in the air and create high pressure and low pressure

Does a low frequency have a longer or shorter wavelength? High or low pitch?

Longer wavelength. Lower pitch

What is tonotypical mapping?

Mapping sounds with a higher frequency vs sounds of a lower frequency. When sounds with varying frequencies reach the ear, they will stimulate different parts of the basilar membrane

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
