Description
• There has been limited investigation into pattern separation in modalities other than the visual domain, specifically little study of auditory pattern separation.
• Research on developing a measure of auditory pattern separation can aid in growing our understanding of memory and encourage further research of pattern separation in the auditory domain.
• Using Stark’s visual MST and an auditory MST (created by Helena Wang) the differences in performance of participants across the tasks was compared.
• The performance of the visual MST group was found to be not significantly different from the performance of the auditory MST group, as hypothesized.
• This finding suggests that in a healthy population with no memory or perceptual impairments, pattern performance across visual and auditory modalities is similar.
• Thus, further study of the similarity of neural correlates for across visual and auditory pattern separation could elucidate the role of modalities in pattern separation
