DESCRIPTION:_Working Memory_ (WM)\, a brain system that provides temporary
  storage and manipulation of information\, is fundamental to language and 
 music processing. However it has been mainly studied under the aspect of l
 anguage. We compared WM for verbal and tonal stimuli using fMRI\, and addi
 tionally explored the effect of musical expertise on the neural correlates
  of WM for tonal stimuli.  Furthermore\, in a behavioural experiment WM fo
 r pitch\, timbre and words was investigated\, and the WM processes of main
 tenance and manipulation were compared.\n\nThe influence of speech and lan
 guage on _Long-Term Memory_ (LTM) of auditory material was investigated in
  a behavioural study. Specifically\, it was asked whether humans can store
  long-term representations of sounds that can be neither repeated nor labe
 led. Our results indicate that LTM for auditory stimuli is strongly influe
 nced by its potential association with speech and language.
