1. Findings

   • the immediate recall group
     • remembered fewer acoustically similar words then dissimilar.
   • the delayed recall group
     • this group had no significant difference in acoustically simillar and dissimialr, but in semantic there were differences

2. aim

   • to see if STM is mainly acoustic encoding
   • Is LTM also acoustically encodng
   • is STM and LTM semantically encoded

3. procedures

   • participants were given 4 sets of words
     • acoustically simmilar
     • acoustically dissmilar
     • semantically similar
     • semantically dismillar

4. conclusion

   • Short Term Memory
     • Acoustically encoded
   • Long Term Memory
     • Semantically encoded
