- 1AimTo investigate how the acoustic similarity/dissimilarity of words effects short term memory recall of a list of 10 words
- 2Background theory & research evidence - BaddeleyBaddeley constructed a memory recall task involving acoustically similar and dissimilar sounding words and found that pps tended to perform worse on the acoustically similar words.
- 3Background theory & research evidence - MSM and WMMAccording to MSM and the WMM, STM uses acoustic encoding, so similar sounding words are more difficult to encode than dissimilar sounding words, resulting in poorer recall performance.
- 4Experimental hypothesisThere will be less accurate recall of a list of 10 words that are acoustically similar sounding than words that are acoustically dissimilar sounding.
- 5Null hypothesisThere will be no difference in recall performance of acoustically similar and dissimilar sounding words, and any difference found will be due to chance.
- 6Research MethodThe research method chosen was a laboratory experiment. It gathered quantitative data.
- 7Independent variableAcoustically similar sounding words or acoustically dissimilar sounding words (Fully Operationalised IV: 10 monosyllabic words that rhyme or 10 monosyllabic words that do not rhyme)
- 8Dependent variableRecall performance (Operationalised DV: Total number of accurately recalled words from a 10 word list in a free recall memory test)
