Auditory Perception

Auditory perception is the ability to identify, interpret, and perceive sounds by the ear and the brain. It is a complex process that allows humans and animals to understand and interpret sounds in their environment.

Pronunciation

  • UK: /ɔːˈdɪtəri pərˈsɛpʃən/
  • US: /ɔːˈdɪtɔːri pərˈsɛpʃən/

Etymology

The term "auditory perception" is derived from the Latin words "audire" meaning "to hear" and "perceptio" meaning "perception".

Process

The process of auditory perception begins when sound waves enter the ear canal. These waves are then converted into electrical signals by the cochlea, which are then sent to the auditory cortex in the brain for interpretation.
