Stimulus suffix effects with speech and nonspeech sounds

E J Rowe et al. Mem Cognit. 1976 Mar.

Abstract

The stimulus suffix effect (SSE) was examined with short sequences of words and meaningful nonspeech sounds. In agreement with previous findings, the SSE for word sequences was obtained with a speech, but not a nonspeech, suffix. The reverse was true for sounds. The results contribute further evidence for a functional distinction between speech and nonspeech processing mechanisms in auditory memory.
