Auditory Processes PsychSim & Sensation Activities

For Monday, you will be completing this homework assignment using the PsychSim 5 Module on the Auditory System. You will learn about properties of sound waves and how the ear responds to these properties to create our experience of hearing. Complete the ear diagram you received in class as you work through the module. Once you have finished the module, you may wish to play around with these fun hearing links:

• Test out your difference threshold for pitch using this online test.
• Check out this interactive module about the work of Georg Von Bekesy, a Nobel Prize winner who made important discoveries about how the cochlea works to allow us to discriminate pitch. You also get to play a game with this one. :)
• A fan favorite: the backmasking in music site. 

If you're still looking for more sensation-related challenges, here are a few we've used/talked about in class recently:

• This one allows you to test your absolute threshold for visual processing. 
• A color blindness test
