Encoding, Baddeley Study (1966) - Coggle Diagram

- - - - According to Baddeley, long term memory is encoded semantically
  - - - Identifying correct answer in multiple choice question
      - Recognizing something you know
    - - retrieve information (remember) with cue or assistance
      - Someone tells you a hint to help you remember something
    - - retrieve information (remember) without any cue
      - retelling a story without help
      - essay question on a test
- - - - Results: A did worse than B, C did worse than D. It was harder to remember the order of acoustically similar words than acoustically dissimilar words and the order of semantically similar words were harder to remember than semantically dissimilar words.
        
        Strengths/Weaknesses: Strength: The study was well controlled in a laboratory by controlling the speed of reading the words and hearing ability because they gave participants hearing tests. Weaknesses: The test may not have actually tested long term memory because it was only a 20 minute recall. The test could have examined visual or other encoding types to see their effects on the results. We also don't know if short term memory could be encoded visually or by smell/other senses.
      - Group A acoustically similar
      - Group B acoustically dissimilar
      - Group C semantically similar
      - Group D semantically different
