- 1What key study is used for the capacity of the STM?Baddeley et al. 1975
word length effect on immediate memory span using the pronunciation time. - 2Describe the key finding of Baddeley study on word length effectP's could remember more short words than long words
They could remember as many words as they could in about 2 seconds
There was a positive correlation between the reading speeds and the number of items recalled - 3Evaluate Baddeley's study on the word length effectShorter words may just be easier to remember than longer words.
Reductionist way of describing memory - 4What key study is used to detail the duration of the STM?Peterson and Peterson duration study 1959
- 5Describe the key findings of the Peterson and Peterson study of 1959After only 3 seconds recall was at 80% for the trigrams.
By 18 seconds recall had fallen to less than 10% - 6Evaluate the Peterson and Peterson study of 1959Trigrams are a very artificial tool to use for memory.
It is possible that interference rather than decay caused poor recall
Experimental method however does allow us to establish a causal link - 7What key study id used for encoding in the STM?Baddeley acoustic and semantic encoding the STM 1966
- 8Describe the key findings of Baddeley's 1966 studyAcoustically similar words were harder to recall that acoustically dissimilar.
Semantically similar and dissimilar had little effect.
These effects disappeared if he tested the P's over a long -term suggesting that encoding is affected by whether the items are being stored in the STM or LTM memory - 9Evaluate Baddeley's research into encoding in the STM 1966A causal link can be drawn between the two conditions
The conclusions do not reflect the complexity of encoding in the memory.
