(STAINSBY) Give an account of the processes involved in the perception of pitch‚ with specific reference to the missing fundamental. Introduction In order to perceive the pitch of a sound‚ the mechanical energy of the sound waves must be transformed into the electrical energy of nerve impulses. The auditory system is able to process the sound waves travelling through the air and carry out this transformation of energy which leads to the perception of a pitch. When a pitch is heard‚ it is the frequency

How do people view each other and what effect do relationships have on perception accuracy? I answered these broad questions by running an experiment with three trials (three different relationships) with the same controlled questions. It’s easy for one to see that perception relies heavily on how much one knows of another and how accurate it actually is. This paper will be organized by primarily discussing my acquaintance‚ Miles Morgan‚ and then my friend‚ Jack Hill‚ and lastly‚ my significant other

Identifying Organic Compounds 2. Purpose/Problem: I am doing this experiment to find out what kind of organic compounds are in test tubes A‚ B‚ C and D. I am curious to know if substance D was the lipid because it seemed thin and had a slightly yellow tint of color to it. 3. Research: In my research I was informed about facts and appearances of lipids. First of all lipids are non-polar compounds‚ thus they won’t dissolve in water. This is also known as being hydrophobic. They are made with one
