Strength: Baddely research
supported by research studies that show STM and LTM are separate unitary stores, BADDELY found that ppts mixed words that sounded similar when using STM and words that had similar meaning when using LTM, suggests coding is acoustic in STM and semantic in LTM, supports msm as supports view that they are separate unitary stores
