Abstract

The main objective is to investigate the effects of memory for perceptually similar environmental sounds and words. Results reveal generalization for meaningful items and perceptual analysis for meaningless sounds over time. Our findings for phonological material indicate the importance of distinctive meaning of perceptually similar words.
