Lab experiment
Ps were randomly allocated conditions to partake in
The 4 conditions were accoustically similar, accoustically dissimilar, semantically similar and semantically dissimilar
Each participant did a hearing test to ensure they knew and understood the words
Then the learning trials began, a list of 10 words is read out in a specific order, Ps then took part in a 6 digit recall task (to prevent rehearsal)
Then they had to right down the 10 words in the right order
This happened 4 times
Baddeley then did 15 minutes worth of copying 8 digit numbers down at the Ps own pace, he then asked them to write down the 10 words again
There was a list of the 10 words in a random order always visible
