Provide an overview of the place and frequency theories of pitch perception, and resolve the "debate" between the two
What will be an ideal response?
Place theory proposes that specific sound frequencies vibrate specific portions of the basilar membrane, producing different pitches. Frequency theory, on the other hand, proposes that pitch perception corresponds to the frequency at which the entire basilar membrane vibrates. Currently, it is believed that both theories are needed to fully account for pitch perception. Hair cells along the membrane vibrate together as suggested by frequency theory, but the wave of vibration travelling along the membrane peaks at a particular location as suggested by place theory.
