据说，当信号是听觉信号时，对不规则信号序列的计时的短期记忆比当它们是视觉信号时更准确。当信号是嘟嘟声和闪光时(实验1和实验3)，或者当它们是口语和打字数字集时(实验4和5)，这一论点没有得到支持。另一方面，当受试者在序列呈现过程中默默地口述名义上不相关的项目时，对嘟嘟声和闪光的支持(实验2和实验5)，以及单个口述数字的重复和单个打字数字的重复(实验6)都获得了支持。此外，当每个序列中的信号相同时，无论是语言的(实验7)还是非语言的(实验8和9)，听觉信号序列的时间被更准确地记住。这些发现是从功能的角度考虑的。
Short-term memory for the timing of irregular sequences of signals has been said to be more accurate when the signals are auditory than when they are visual. No support for this contention was obtained when the signals were beeps versus flashes (Experiments 1 and 3) nor when they were sets of spoken versus typewritten digits (Experiments 4 and 5). On the other hand, support was obtained both for beeps versus flashes (Experiments 2 and 5) and for repetitions of a single spoken digit versus repetitions of a single typewritten digit (Experiment 6) when the subjects silently mouthed a nominally irrelevant item during sequence presentation. Also, the timing of sequences of auditory signals, whether verbal (Experiment 7) or nonverbal (Experiments 8 and 9), was more accurately remembered when the signals within each sequence were identical. The findings are considered from a functional perspective.
