本研究探讨非语言听觉记忆表征是否会受到排练策略的影响。在两个实验中，通过一个无声的、可变的延迟间隔来比较两个音调的音高，这两个实验分别是参与者被指示在间隔期间偷偷地排练第一个音调的音高，以及当这种排练被2个注意力要求分心的任务中的1个阻止时。在这两个实验中，当参与者被允许排练时，延迟音调比较的表现更好，而分心任务的类型（口头和听觉）对分心指令下的表现没有影响。结果表明，听觉意象可以有策略地延缓音高听觉信息的衰减速度。
This study investigated whether nonverbal auditory memory representations can be affected by rehearsal strategies. The comparison of the pitches of 2 tones separated by a silent, variable delay interval was examined in 2 experiments, both when participants were instructed to rehearse the pitch of the first tone covertly during the intertone interval and when such rehearsal was prevented by 1 of 2 attention-demanding distractor tasks. In both experiments, delayed tone comparison performance was superior when participants were permitted to rehearse, and the type of distractor task (verbal vs. auditory) had no effect on performance under distraction instructions. The results suggest that auditory imagery can be used strategically to slow the rate of decay of auditory information for tone pitch.
