My students were given a exam in which they had to identify the scale of
measurement of certain variables. One of the examples was colors.

Broca's aphasia is, according to Kalat, associated with language

expression and gestures. Deaf people with damage in Broca's
area have trouble with signing. The same situation applies with Wernicke's

Today a student asked me: when a person's ears ring as the result of a loud
noise, is the ringing an indicator that the hair cells are dying or damaged?
Do any of you have an answer on this?
