> instead of recovering as soon as you heard the horn blip, you spent a lot of time with it going off in your ear. In fact my instructor used to pull the circuit breaker for it after it went off, as we already knew we were going to be spending a lot of time in an incipient stall condition, and could tell more from the changes in sound of the air going past us than some buzzer.

This is sort of the way I was taught. In primary training we'd always wind up doing a lot of minimum controllable airspeed work and then move on to power on stalls/departures and low power stalls/approaches. Recognition was pretty easy with the buffeting followed by the nose dropping. Coordination and control were the goals. Later on we'd also do accelerated stalls. I hated doing low speed work so my instructor made us do it every time even after I started doing them without him in the airplane.
