Question 2

How does the STM encode info?

Answer 2

Acoustically.

Question 3

How does the LTM encode info?

Answer 3

Semantically.

Question 4

Describe Baddeleys 1966 research into coding. (STM)

Answer 4

Baddeley found when participants were asked to recall a list of acoustically similar words they made more mistakes then they did when asked to recall a list of acoustically different words, this is because there was confusion based on how the word sounded.

Question 5
