Conrad Aim
STM coding
Conrad Procedure
Acoustically similar/ dissimilar lists of letters with an acoustic confusion task
Conrad Findings
Most made more mistakes on acoustically similar
Conrad Evaluation
Artificial task
Baddeley STM Aim
Coding- acoustic or semantic?
Baddeley STM Procedure
4 groups of 5 words (acoustically or semantically similar or dissimilar), had to recall in order
Baddeley STM Findings
Acoustically similar accuracy= 55%
Acoustically dissimilar accuracy= 75%
Semantic accuracy= similar but worse
Baddeley STM Evaluation
Artificial task, backed up by Conrad
Baddeley LTM Aim
Coding- acoustic or semantic?
Baddeley LTM Procedure
4 groups of 5 words (acoustically or semantically similar or dissimilar), had to recall in order after doing a different task for 20 minutes
Baddeley LTM Findings
Semantically similar accuracy= 55%
Semantically dissimilar accuracy= 85%
Acoustic accuracy= similar but worse
Baddeley LTM Evaluation
Artificial task
Jacobs Aim
STM capacity
Jacobs Procedure
Serial digit span test, recall in order
Jacobs Findings
Digits= 9.3 Letters= 7.3
Jacobs Evaluation
Artificial task,easy to replicate
Standing Aim
LTM capacity
Standing Procedure
2,560 pictures, shown for 10 seconds each, at the end show new and old pictures and had to say if they’d seen it before
Standing Findings
90% recognised new pictures
Standing Evaluation
Artificial task
Peterson and Peterson Aim
STM duration
Peterson and Peterson Procedure
Given a trigram, had to count down from a 3 digit number, recall the trigram. Each trial had to count for longer
Peterson and Peterson Findings
76% correct at 3 seconds
10% correct at 18 seconds
Peterson and Peterson Evaluation
Artificial task, standardised, alternative explanation= displacement
