Résumé :

Immediate serial recall performance was compared for sound-producing objects represented by (1) their spoken name, (2) their typical sound, (3) their written name or (4) their picture. Recency was largest for the spoken lists, intermediate for the sounds, and almost non-existent for print and pictures. Experiment 2 used a speech or auditory non-speech suffix to investigate the nature of the recency effects. A spoken suffix interfered with recency of spoken material, but not with that of non-speech sounds; an auditory non-speech suffix did not interfere with speech or with non-speech. Taken together, these two experiments highlight the special status of spoken input as well as that of auditory information.
