Achilles’ Ear? Inferior Human Short-Term and Recognition Memory in the Auditory Modality

Figure 3

Comparison of visual and auditory short-term memory among primates.

(A) In the present experiment, inferior retention was observed for auditory compared to visual stimuli in human subjects. This pattern of results is qualitatively similar to that which has been observed in the chimpanzee (B), as well as both old-world (C) and new-world monkeys (D). (B) Adapted from Hashiya and Kojima [12]; (C) adapted from Fritz et al. [6]; (D) adapted from Colombo and D’Amato [1].
