The brain is able to localize sounds by calculating the differences in arrival times for sounds between the two ears.One of the things that makes this possible is the fact that the auditory input for each ear is "held" momentarily in the memory system known as:
A)echoic memory
B)iconic memory
C)temporal memory
D)differential memory

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Echoic memory is the sensory memory system responsible for holding auditory information for a brief period of time, usually a few seconds. This allows for the brain to compare and calculate the differences in arrival times of sounds between the two ears, which enables sound localization. Iconic memory refers to the sensory memory system responsible for holding visual information, while temporal memory and differential memory are not relevant memory systems in this context.
