    "title": "It’s Alive! Animate Sources Produce Mnemonic Benefits",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The mnemonic benefits of animate (e.g., Tiger) over inanimate\n(e.g., Table) stimuli have been demonstrated across several\ndifferent memory paradigms. Given the ubiquity of inanimate,\ncomputer-generated voices we investigated if the animacy of a\npresentation source confers mnemonic benefits. We asked: is\ninformation delivered by a human voice better remembered\nthan information presented by a computer-generated voice?\nWord-lists were presented auditorily by either a human or a\ncomputer-generated voice and memory was measured using a\nfree recall assessment. In Experiment 1, words presented in a\nhuman voice were better remembered than words presented in\na computer voice. Experiment 2 demonstrated that beliefs\nabout the animacy of a computer-generated voice were not\nsufficient for any benefits to accrue, suggesting a possible\nboundary condition for the effect. Both experiments replicated\nthe mnemonic benefits of animate words and demonstrated\nfurther extensions of the effect to spoken word presentation.",
