520			_aThe present research has found that subjects with high listener's status have better conversation memory compared to those with low listener's status. This finding may be explained by the "differential attention hypothesis," which suggests that high status listeners pay more attention to conversations, leading to increased retention. This contradicts Ahmad's (1997) findings. Furthermore, the research has also found that humorous information has a more significant impact on conversation memory than nonhumorous information. This finding is consistent with numerous studies, indicating that humor can enhance learning speed, problem-solving, and memory. Overall, the findings of this research suggest that social status and the use of humor can influence conversation memory. These results have important implications for communication and education settings, where the use of humor and attentional strategies may be beneficial in enhancing retention and learning outcomes.
