Letters that sound alike, such as "B" and "V," "M" and "N," "P" and "T," etc., are more likely to be confused in an experiment on short-term memory as they have similar auditory representations in the brain. This makes it more difficult for individuals to distinguish between them and correctly recall them from memory.
