Topik

How is this German article an article on the place theory of hearing? Dicklyon (talk) 02:49, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The German article Topik (Psychologie) is not an article on the place theory of hearing. But the place theory of hearing is i.m.o. an example of topic theory. Please would you let me know if this can explain your question because in the moment I'm sorry not to be able to see the right reason or "place" of your question. I'd like perhaps if you could read the German article Tonotopie. Perhaps this is more helpful? I am very interested to hear if your question is cleared. --Anaxo (talk) 08:11, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ja, Tonotopie makes much more sense. I link that at Place theory (hearing). Danke. Dicklyon (talk) 15:29, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your quick answer and your last edit. I'm sorry I forgot my own edit linking to place theory (hearing). But don't you find it ambiguous that the definition given in this article is as following:

Place theory is a theory of hearing ...

I'd rather think that place theory is not a theory of hearing but a theory that can be applied to understand the anatomic and physiological details of hearing. Could you please let me know your opinion? I'm not sure if my formulation is good enough for an own edit but I hope you can understand it nevertheless. Is there no main article about place theory or something like this? I fear the "redirect" makes no sense too. --Anaxo (talk) 18:54, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some sources you can consult to see how the term "place theory" is used with respect to hearing; you can search for uses of "place theory" that are NOT related to hearing, too. You may be thinking of a more general theory, such as the Law of specific nerve energies, of which the place theory of hearing can be considered to be a special case. My own take is that the place theory is of limited use in understanding hearing; you need to at least include some other theories (Volley theory , Temporal theory (hearing)), or use a modern integrated theory.

Hello Dicklyon, thank you very much for your detailed answer. You seem for me to be a specialist in the matter of hearing. It will take me a little time to study all these links. Thank you very much first of all. I only try to understand the extend of some theories. Of course I started occupation with the psychological "place theory" as mentionned above in the German article. You incited me to seek for the for uses of "place theory" that are NOT related to hearing. Of course here they are: place theory. So I can really read quiet a lot of informations.

I would like to mention at the end, that now place theory (hearing) is linked to the German article Tonotopie but this one is linked to the English article Tonotopy. I don't think is it correct? Do you? --Anaxo (talk) 01:22, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly symmetric, but it's not bad for now. Dicklyon (talk) 04:06, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So we can go on! Perhaps our conversation can be a hint for other users too. It should be linked to the discussion of place theory (hearing). --Anaxo (talk) 10:49, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Found out

The google-book catchword of "place theory" showed links to central place theory. It is also a totally new perspective. There are lots of others in the disambiguation of topology. --Anaxo (talk) 03:22, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
