(47)__________ , scientists who study hearinghave found that the auditory ability of animals and humans respond to speech sounds inremarkably (48)______ ways. Scientists see hearing in humans and higher animals(49)_____________ an act of computer-like processing in which a sound enters the earand is (50)___________ down into components. These are transported in some codedform through the nervous system to the brain, (51)________ they are put back togetherand interpreted. Scientists believe that, in large part, how speech is processed is(52)_________ on its acoustical properties. Research with animals shows that they canamong subtle nuances in speech.
