"...the auditory modality shows a consistent advantage in memory over the visual modality."
"Aside from language, the other major, complex mode of auditory cognition is music..."
Proceduralists assert that there is a precategorical memory of auditory events -- precategorical being memory of acoustic sensations before cognition and meaning are applied.
There are two academic camps on auditory memory: the storage position whcih theorises that there are areas of the brain dedicated to memory (for audio, an echoic store) and the proceduralist position whcih claims that there are no such specific stores and that memory of an event resides wherever the processing of that event took place as a residual of the process.
