Baddeley classic Flashcards
What is the aim? BADDELEY
To see the influence of acoustic and semantic word similarity on learning and recall in LTM
What was the sample? BADDELEY
72 men and women
What participant design was it? BADDELEY
Independent groups design
What were the four conditions? BADDELEY
List A- 10 accoustically similar
List B- accoustically dissimilar
List C- semantically similar
List D- semantically disimilar
What happened after each word list was presented to the pps BADDELEY
Asked to complete 6 eight digit recall tasks
How long did they have to recall the word list? BADDELEY
One minute
What was the result between the acoustically similar condition and the acoustically disimilar? BADDELEY
The results were very similar
What is LTM affected by?
Semantic similarity but not acoustic similarity
High reliability BADDELEY
Controlled lab enviro and. Used standardised procedures- same amount of words for each list condition
Low Eco validity BADDELEY
Lab setting, artificial task. Not a typical way of using memory
Opposing evidence BADDELEY
Frost showed that LT recall was related to visual as well as semantic encoding
