STM is largely encoded through what type of coding?
Acoustically
LTM is largely encoded through what type of coding?
Semantically
What was Baddeleys Coding experiment?
Gave participants one of 4 lists to remember, these lists had words either acoustically similar or different, semantically similar or different. Then they had to recall the words either immediately (STM) or after 20 minutes (LTM)
What were the results of Baddley's coding experiment?
Participants did worse on acoustically similar words when tested immediately, they did worse on semantically similar words when tested after 20 minutes. Concluded STM is acoustic, LTM is semantic
Give 3 limitations of Baddley's coding experiment
STM may not be exclusively acoustic, LTM may not be exclusively semantic
Different encoding types depending on the memory being remembered
Baddley's study has limitedapplication due to the use of artificial stimuli
