Paper Abstract
3 pages in length. What Winkler and Cowan (2005) have accomplished in their study is to illustrate how certain auditory cues elicit memory recall more expediently than others, which serves to indicate that variations of sound – such as with human voice recognition – is a critical component of encoding, storage and recall capabilities. It has long been surmised by virtue of scientific research that people tend to lose sensory information within seconds of absorbing it, rendering subsequent recall a tentative proposition. However, auditory cues have been shown to remain with a person for longer periods of time than other sensory information, typically thirty seconds. These findings provide insight as to why people often recognize the sound of someone's voice – even from years past – yet not identify the individual by sight or other sensory information.
