The Influence of Acoustic and Semantic Similarity on Long-Term Memory for Word Sequences

KEY - Evaluative Points

AIMS

• To investigate the acoustic and semantic word similarity on learning and word recall in short-term and long-term memory.

PROCEDURE- EXPERIMENT THREE

• Laboratory experiment > testing the sequential recall of acoustically and semantically similar word lists.
• Male and female participants > Applied Psychology Research Unit

                                               > Assigned to one of the four conditions ( lists)

• Each list was presented to the participants through a projector screen > words displayed apart by 3 second intervals.
• Participants were required to complete 6 tasks that involved digit recall > involves rehearsal.
• Participants were then asked to recall the word lost in 1 minute by writing…
