CLASSIC BADDLEY Flashcards
A
Inf of acoustic+ sem in learning and recall in both memory
P
Lab exp on seq recall w 4 10 word lists SIM and dis matched to freq or daily use aka control
Via projector for 3s each word, intf task of number
Recall words seq 1min w word list visible, repeated 4
15m intf and surprise retest
Ppt
72 volunteer men and women from app psych research unit
F
Ac SIM worse than diss initially but not stat diff after retest, encoding initially diff but didn’t affect ltm recall
Sem SIM diff than diss so recalled sig few SIM in retest
C
Stm largely acoustic and encoding in ltm largely not exc semantic
S
I scientific w controlled lab enviro and standardised p
J controlled= same no of words shown for 3s via projector so establish cause and effect between iv eg semantic and DV eg ltm
E rep and reliability can be established to understand how memory encodes eg ltm sem
W
I lacks eco validity
J lab and projector is artificial enviro
E ppt try harder to learn words unlike daily use of memory and so findings less useful
Wc
I app to wider world, improve ltm recall in edu sector
J ltm sem so useful revise exams, relate info to existing kn so process meaning of info which matches firm of end in ltm and improves recall
E validity in terms of being applied and useful to real life situations
