STM and LTM (tested the effects of acoustic and semantic similarity in short term and long term recall)
1 of 8
What did Baddeley (1966) do?
Participants lists of words which were acoustically similar or dissimilar and words that were semantically similar or dissimilar
2 of 8
What did Baddeley (1966) find?
That participants had difficulty remembering acoustically similar words in STM but not in LTM , whereas semantically similar words posed little problem for short term recall but led to muddled LTM.
3 of 8
What does this suggest/show?
That encoding in STM is acoustic and encoding in LTM is semantic.

A limitation to Baddeley's (1966) study
LTM may sometimes use other codes. Frost (1972) shows that long l

What does Frosts (1972) limitation to Baddeley's (1966) study suggest/show?
That LTM sometimes can visual as well as semantic.

A second limitation to Baddeley's (1966) study
STM may sometimes use other codes. Wickens et al (1976) research has shown that STM sometimes uses a sementic code/
