    This paper describes a small-scale experiment in speech perception and short-term memory. Subjects were asked to listen to and repeat short segments of speech. Some of the samples were from a language with an unfamiliar phoneme inventory. Other samples were made of up phonemes found in the subjects' native language. Results indicated that short-term verbal memory functions much better with the samples that have a familiar inventory of phonemes.
