Audio memory

Post Reply New Topic

I have very bad audio memory. On the phone, I simply cannot remember any messages being to me ever for the shortest time. I wonder if there are any audio memory exercises. That would help.

I would be intrested in this also

My problem is I have a very good memory for audio but only when something triggers it.

For example I can remember every note and word in a song perfectly if I hear the intro but without that trigger I cant remember any of it.

Ill have a conversation with someone and 10 minutes later not even remember what it was about. But if someone reminds me of the subject and/or one of the things said suddenly I clearly remember everything (even inflection and intonation).

But its like I remember the sounds not the words.

I find my audial memory to be somewhat inconsistent.

With music, sounds, and tones, I'm lucky enough to remember things well enough that after maybe one or two listenings, they'll never leave my memory, and what I hear in my mind is simillar to changing tracks on an massive digital music player containing thousands of tracks that I can change between at will.

On the other hand, when it comes to speech, I'm very poor. I hear sentences, but often don't comprehend them even the first or second time people speak them to me.

I've often thought that wheras music is an emotional experience for me, and thus requires attention, speech holds little to no emotional interest, and when I'm hearing something the first time, it's merely a noise distracting me enough to understand the first or second repetition.

Same thing happens to me, Fraya.
