19
Q

The phonological loop (PL) deals with auditory information and the order of the information, like whether words occurred before or after each other.

A

This makes it hard to remember and store a list of long words such as:
1. ‘Association’
2. ‘Representative’
,because rehearsal of the word takes longer than 2 seconds

Q

Research:
Baddeley et al. (1975) reported on the word length effect, where participants recalled more short words in serial order than longer words, supporting the idea that the capacity of the phonological loop (PL) is set by how long it takes to say words, rather than the actual number of words.
The word length effect disappears if a person is given what?

A

The word length effect disappears if a person is given an articulatory suppression task

39

The word length effect disappears if a person is given an articulatory suppression task.
What is this?

A

This is a repetitive task that ties up the articulatory process

The word length effect disappears if a person is given an articulatory suppression task.
This is a repetitive task that ties up the articulatory process.
Example

A 
For example:
1. Doing a task
,while
2. Saying 'la la la'
means that your articulatory process is kept busy
