title: Stimulus suffix effects with speech and nonspeech sounds.
abstract: The stimulus suffix effect (SSE) was examined with short sequences of words and meaningful nonspeech sounds. In agreement with previous findings, the SSE for word sequences was obtained with a speech, but not a nonspeech, suffix. The reverse was true for sounds. The results contribute further evidence for a functional distinction between speech and nonspeech processing mechanisms in auditory memory.
