Suffix Effects Manifest and Concealed: Further Evidence for a 20-Second Echo.

Watkins, Michael J.; Todres, Amy K.

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, v19 n1 p46-53 Feb 1980

Reports three experiments investigating the relationship of the suffix effect and echoic memory. Shows that echoic memory persists for at least 20 seconds. Illustrates that echoic memory can be used to establish a more effective nonechoic memory. Shows that recency recall is higher to auditory than to visual items. (PMJ)
