Discrimination Thresholds for High-Frequency Tones Are Much Larger Than for Low-Frequency

question 29

Multiple Choice

Discrimination thresholds for high-frequency tones are much larger than for low-frequency tones. This is a problem for place theory because:

• A) The theory predicts that discrimination of low frequencies should be worse
• B) The theory predicts that the bandwidths of lower frequencies should be greater
• C) The theory makes no predictions about discrimination thresholds
• D) According to place theory, if discrimination thresholds are larger for higher frequencies, the bandwidths of higher frequency auditory filters should also be greater, and this is not found
