Document Summary

Human hearing range - 20 to 20,000 hz . Audibility curve shows the threshold of hearing humans most sensitive to 2,000 to. Auditory response area - falls between the audibility curve and and the threshold for feeling : shows range of response for human audition. Mcgurk effect: if the listener closes his eyes and no longer sees the woman"s lips, he will hear. Seeing the lips moving influences what the listener hears. Cortical areas for speech; broca"s area (production) and wernicke"s area (comprehension) Vestibular sense: sense of body orientation with respect to gravity , receptors in semicircular canals (in inner ear) Kinesthetic sense : sense of body position and movement of body parts relative to each other, mechanoreceptors in joints, muscles, and tendons. Olfactory bulbs = brain sites of olfactory processing. Pheromones = chemical signals released by organisms to communicate with other members of the species.
