Studies of the memory capabilities of nonhuman primates have consistently revealed a
relative weakness for auditory compared to visual or tactile stimuli: extensive training is …

Sounds are fleeting, and assembling the sequence of inputs at the ear into a coherent
percept requires auditory memory across various time scales. Auditory short-term memory …

Working memory is the ability to employ recently seen or heard stimuli and apply them to
changing cognitive context. Although much is known about language processing and visual …

Although research has consistently demonstrated that accuracy on a variety of memory tasks
decreases as delay increases, relatively little research has been conducted to quantify this …

Behaviorally-relevant sounds such as conspecific vocalizations are often available for only a
brief amount of time; thus, goal-directed behavior frequently depends on auditory short-term …

Many human behaviors are known to benefit from audiovisual integration, including
language and communication, recognizing individuals, social decision making, and …

Three rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were tested in a same/different memory task for
proactive interference (PI) from prior trials. PI occurs when a previous sample stimulus …

Echoic memory (EM) is a short-lived, precategorical, and passive form of auditory short-term
memory (STM). A key hallmark of EM is its rapid exponential decay with a time constant …

The Delay-Match-to-Sample (DMS) task has been used in countless studies of memory,
undergoing numerous modifications, making the task more and more challenging to …

Language and communication rely heavily on the processing of auditory signals. Two major
components of that signal processing are object identification and memory. Remembering …
