Abstract
This chapter has two main purposes: firstly, it suggests some orienting attitudes towards memory storage in general; and secondly, it surveys a few of the most active research programs that are specifically about auditory memory. It expands the definition of auditory memory beyond what used to be called ‘sensory memory’ and describes several forms of memory that are specific to the auditory system. The chapter is organized as follows. Section 5.1 discusses auditory retention in short-term verbal memory. Section 5.2 covers auditory backward-recognition masking. Section 5.3 describes same/different pitch comparisons in pairs of tones. Section 5.4 considers memory for melody. Section 5.5 of the chapter discusses memory and imagery for musical timbre, while Section 5.6 concludes.
