which theory cannot adequately account for pitches above 1,000 hz?
adaptive
place
frequency
volley

Explanation:

The frequency theory suggests that the rate of nerve impulses in the auditory nerve matches the frequency of a tone, but it has difficulty accounting for pitches above 1,000 Hz because individual neurons cannot fire fast enough. Place theory is better for high - frequency sounds, and volley theory combines aspects of frequency and place theories to handle a wider range of frequencies. Adaptive is not a relevant pitch - perception theory here.

Answer:

C. frequency
