Abstract
20 male and 20 female college students were given a detailed photograph as well as a 20-item questionnaire pertaining to the photograph. In quiet surroundings one group listened to a non-vocal recording while the other group listened to an identical recording with a vocal. The recording with both voice and instruments impaired the recall task significantly more than a recording solely of instruments.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
