memory

Question 1

research on coding, and findings

Answer 1

Baddeley
gave word lists to 4 groups

Group 1 - acoustically similar words
Group 2 - acoustically dissimilar
Group 3 - semantically similar
Group 4 - semantically dissimilar

Participants were shown word lists and asked to recall immediately in correct order
They did worse on ACOUSTICALLY SIMILAR WORDS

he asked them to repeat word lists again after 20 an interval recalling from LTM - they did worst on SEMANTICALLY DISSIMILAR WORDS

Question 2

evaluation of research on coding

Answer 2

STRENGTH BADDELEY
he identified clear difference between 2 memory stores. idea that STM = Acoustic + LTM = semantic has stood for a long period of time

LIMITATION BADDELEY
used artificial stimuli instead of meaningful material
word lists have no meaning to participants - not applicable to real world scenarios

Question 3

research on capacity
