In this experiment 60 undergraduates were given a serial learning task to assess the possibility of an auditory von Restorff effect. Fifteen males and 15 females learned a list of nine words presented aurally (recorded) with the same male voice (control groups). Fifteen males and 15 females (experimental groups) learned the same list as the control groups except that the sixth word was spoken by a female voice: i.e., it was isolated. The results of this study parallel the results of studies using visual stimuli. The von Restorff effect was demonstrated with auditory stimuli in that one of the experimental groups (female) learned the list with significantly fewer errors than the comparable control group. No difference was found between the male groups
