Q Cards for Revision

Homework:

Use Q Cards to revise all topics in the coming months. However, for next week focus upon studies relating to MSM and WMM (all component parts)
Point of clarity for Baddeley 1966 encoding in STM:

Encoding in STM is acoustic according to the findings in the study. Participants were unable to recall acoustically similar words in an STM test (CAT, HAT, MAT), becasue on recalling them they were confused by the fact they sounded similar (they subsituited the actual word with a similar sounding word because they stored the sound, not the meaning)- this is supported by a similar study conducted by Conrad (1964). SO - STM is encoded acoustically.
