- Baddeley ENCODING
- Aim
- To test if acoustic encoding is used in STM and if sematic encoding is used in LTM
- Procedure
- Lab Experiment with 2 experimental word lists and 2 control lists.
- Condition 1: Acoustically Similar (meet, feet, sweet)
- Condition 2: Semantically Similar (neat, clean, tidy)
- Condition 3: Acoustically Dissimilar (hot, far, jam)
- Condition 4: Semantically Dissimilar (pen, jump, day)
- Asked to recall either immediately (STM) or delayed (LTM)
- Independent Variable
- The kind of list (acoustic/ semantic, similar/dissimilar)
- Dependent Variable
- How many sequences a participant recall accurately
- Conclusion
- Nature of encoding is different for STM and LTM
- STM= acoustically encoded, semantics not important
- LTM= semantically encoded, acoustics not important
- Findings
- Immediate recall (STM)= more substitution errors on acoustically similar than dissimilar. No difference in semantic.
- Delayed recall (LTM)= more substitution errors on semantically similar than dissimilar. No difference in acoustically.
- Aim
