Matthew is conducting a study on the basilar membrane. he finds that the base is tuned to high frequencies and the apex is tuned to low frequencies, and that the best frequency varies continuously along the basilar membrane between these extremes. matthew's research supports which theory?

Let's complete the question by adding the options

a. frequency theory

b.place theory

c.cochlear theory

d.fring theory

b.place theory is THE CORRECT ANSWER

Explanation:

Place theory states that our perception of sound relies on where each component frequency gives vibrations along the basilar membrane.

The perception of pitch determines neural firing patterns based on time

Place theory deals with hearing
