What is place coding in psychology?
The first potential code, known as the place code, reflects the mechanical filtering that takes place in the cochlea of the inner ear. The basilar membrane, which runs the length of the fluid-filled cochlea from the base to the apex, vibrates in response to sound.

Examples of Place Theory
As mentioned, place theory can be used to explain how humans perceive high-pitched sounds, those which are above 1,000 hertz. Some examples of these sounds are crashing cymbals and chirping birds.
What is place and temporal coding?
Coding of the time pattern of sounds in the discharge pattern of the auditory nerve fibres is the basis for the temporal hypothesis of frequency discrimination. The place hypothesis is based on spectral analysis by the basilar membrane of the cochlea.
What is place theory psychology?
the theory that (a) sounds of different frequencies stimulate different places along the basilar membrane and (b) pitch is coded by the place of maximal stimulation.
