The volley principle proposes that auditory neurons do not fire all at once above 100 Hz but below 1000 Hz, but instead fire in a sequential pattern in order to encode pitches. This allows the auditory system to process higher frequencies by distributing the workload among a group of neurons.

Theories of hearing include the place theory, which suggests that different frequencies of sound stimulate different areas of the cochlea, and the frequency theory, which proposes that nerve impulses sent to the brain match the frequency of the sound wave. The volley theory combines elements of both theories by suggesting that groups of neurons fire in rapid succession to achieve frequency encoding.
The particle theory is called the "particle model" or "particle theory of matter." It proposes that all matter is composed of tiny particles that are in constant motion.
The arousal theory proposes that behavior may be aimed at increasing or decreasing alertness and activity depending on the circumstances. This theory suggests that individuals seek to maintain an optimal level of arousal to function effectively in different situations.
the big bang theory
The frequency theory suggests that the perception of low-pitched sounds is based on the rate at which the auditory nerve fires signals to the brain, corresponding to the frequency of the sound wave. This theory proposes that the pitch of a sound is encoded in the frequency of nerve impulses traveling along the auditory nerve.

Erikson's lifespan theory proposes that psychosocial development occurs primarily as a result of self-recognition gained through crises or conflicts.
Signal Detection Theory proposes that the detection of stimuli depends on both the intensity of the stimulus and the individual's psychological factors, such as motivation and expectancy. This theory suggests that perception is influenced by both the sensitivity of sensory processes and cognitive factors.
