BADDELEY 1966

1. AIM

   • To see if STM is largely based on acoustic code.
   • To find out whether LTM is also accoustically encoded.
   • To find out if STM and LTM is sematically encoded.

2. PROCEDURES

   • Particepents were given 4 sets of words to recall.
     • 1. Acoustically similar (e.g. can, cap, mat.)
     • 2. Acoustically dissimilar (e.g. pit, cow, pen)
     • 3. Sematically similar (e.g. big, huge, large)
     • 4. Sematically dissimilar (e.g. good, hot, safe)
   • One group was asked to reall words immediatly. (STM).
   • The other group were asked to recall words after a delay of 20 minuets. (LTM).

3. FINDINGS

   • The immediate recall group (STM)
     • These particepants remembered fewer acoustically similar than acoustically dissimilar.
   • The delayed recall group (LTM)
     • These particepants showed no significant difference when remembering acousticaly encoded words, but there was differences in sematically encoded words.

4. CONCLUSION

   • STM = Acoustic Encoding
   • LTM = Sematic Encoding
