Vibration refers to the rapid back-and-forth movement or oscillation of an object. In the context of auditory perception, vibration specifically relates to the movement of the basilar membrane in the cochlea.
The number of complete vibrations or cycles per second. Higher frequency vibrations result in higher pitched sounds.
The process by which our brains interpret different frequencies of sound as specific pitches.
A theory suggesting that pitch is determined by the specific location of vibration along the basilar membrane.
