(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.

toddlers we used our sight‚ smell‚ taste‚ touch‚ and hearing to make sense of our surroundings. The evolution of knowledge is mostly because of sense perception. The most primitive versions of ourselves‚ for example the cavemen‚ heavily survived off of sense perception alone.
