The way information is changed so it can be stored in memory; this can be stored visually, acoustically or semantically. 1 of 12 How is information encoded in the STM? Acoustically. 2 of 12 How is information encoded in the LTM? Semantically. 3 of 12 What did Baddeley aim to test? The effects of acoustic and semantic similarity on short term and long term recall. 4 of 12 How many groups of participants were in Baddeleys study? 4 (A, B, C, D). 5 of 12 What were groups A and B given? A - Acoustically similar words. B - Acoustically dissimilar words. 6 of 12 What were groups C and D given? C - semantically similar words. D - semantically dissimilar words. 7 of 12 How many words were read out on each trial? 5 8 of 12 What were pps asked to do after a time interval? They were shown 10 words and asked to pick out their 5 words and place them in order. 9 of 12 What did Baddeley find? STM: acoustically similar words had the lowest recall. LTM: semantically similar words had the lowest recall. 10 of 12 What does Baddeley's study suggest? Words in the STM are encoded acoustically & words in the LTM are encoded semantically. 11 of 12 What is a criticism of this study? Artificial stimuli was used. 12 of 12
