1) The document describes an experiment conducted with students to test auditory perception.
2) The experiment had two parts - the first tested subjects' ability to identify the direction of a ringing bell sound while blindfolded, with and without earplugs. The second tested their ability to estimate the distance of a ringing bell from books placed in different locations.
3) The results found that subjects generally performed better without earplugs, as the earplugs reduced vibrations in the brain and made it harder to distinguish sound locations. The experiment supports the Place-Code Theory that sound frequency vibrations help the brain identify sound sources.

Introduction The purpose of the conduction of this experiment is to determine whether the selected students of B.S. Psychology 3-A can determine where did the sound of the bell came from and imagine the distance and location of the book from where they are standing from. The experiment has two parts, the first part is to identify if they can determine where the sound of the bell is coming from while being blindfolded, while the second part the subject tries to identify how far the sound is coming from, from where the subject is standing while being blindfolded.
Materials & Methods One (1) Standard Size Bell One (1) Metal Measuring Tape One (1) Pack of Cotton One (1) Chair One (1) Dark Colored Scarf One (1) Pair of Earplug Each Five (5) Hardbound Books Twelve (12) - 1/8 Size Index card with Bold, Uppercase writing of: UF (Upper Front), UL (Upper Left), UB (Upper Back), F (Front), DL (Down Left), UR (Upper Right), DF (Down Front), R (Right), RB (Right Back), L (Left), DR (Down Right), and DB (Down Back).
Part I 1.) The needed materials are prepared for the execution of the experiment. We make sure that each member is familiar with whats written on the index cards. 2.) A chair is placed at the center of a room and we marked a 3 inch distance at every direction (Right, Left, Front, Back & Right Back) 3.) Each needed tasks are assigned to every member, at every experiment done so that each member can experience being the subject (two subjects A & B), the recorder and the experimenter. 4.) The subject sat on the chair and placed a blindfold to disable his/her sight. 5.) The experimenters rang the standardized sized bell ten times (10x) coming from the marked directions. The bell will be rang depending on where the index card show it to be rang. The subject then will say where he/she think the sound of the bell came from. 6.) Methods 1-5 are repeated but this time, with the subject having earplugs. 7.) The experiment is done while the direction that flashes on the index card and the response of the subject base on from what he/she perceived is being recorded. 8.) The recorded data are gathered while the experimenters prepare for the part of the experiment.

Part II 1.) The needed materials are prepared for the execution of the experiment. We made sure that each member is familiar with whats written on the index cards. 2.) A mark is placed at the center of a room and we marked a 3 inch distance at every direction where the books or objects are placed. (Right, Left, Front, Back & Right Back) 3.) Each needed tasks are assigned to every member, at every experiment done so that each member can experience being the subject (two subjects A & B), the recorder and the experimenter. 4.) The subject is told to stand at the center mark. 5.) The experiment is done while the subject A respond to the ring of the bell based on what flashes on the index cards and while the distance of the subject B from the book of the said location is recorded. 6.) Repeat methods 1-5, this time the subject B having earplugs. 7.) The experiment is done while the subject B respond to the ring of the bell based on what flashes on the index cards and while the distance of the subject B from the book of the said location is recorded. 8.) The tabulation and the interpretation of the data is made from the gathered data.

Discussion
Few factors from our setting affected the experiment; a.) There are random noises that came from the students around the setting, which affected the subjects auditory perception. b.) The weather suddenly shifted from sunny to rainy, the raindrops affected the performance of the subjects. c.) There are random walking students around the setting which the subject perceived their motion and footsteps. The conducted experiment can be coordinated to the Place-Volley Theory. Subject A more likely got correct answers because the sound frequency produce by the bell made more vibrations on the basilar membrane of the brain of the subject A where the bell was rang. While Subject B less likely got correct answers because his ears are plugged, the sound frequency from where the bell was rang thats entering the basilar membrane part of the brain is reduced, resulting to weaker vibrations. Therefore placing an earplug reduces the vibrations on the brain produced by the sound frequency of the bell, making it harder for the subject to distinguish where the sound was coming from.
