Baddeley And Hitch Phonological Short Term Memory

10), an embedded approach, investigating the complexity of relationships of graphophonic knowledge. Additional activities to support phonics instruction include building word lists based on common elements (Pinnell & Fountas, 1998, p. 157), segmenting words into onset and rime (Emmitt et al, 2013, p.12) and the introduction of high frequency or sight words through modelling and sight words games such as flash cards, sentence strips, bingo, word shapes and extensive reading (Fellows & Oakley, 2010, p. 219) ensuring students reach a point of automaticity (Konza, 2016, p. 157), as sight words feature sounds that contradict the rules for learning the 44 phonemes and the point of automaticity allows higher-level comprehension processes to occur due to available cognitive

On the other hand, Neath and Nairne (1995), assumed that lists with longer and shorter syllables, compared to lists with only short syllable words, would arrive at the same rate during the retrieval process. According to this, list arrangement does not matter; shorter words alone and shorter

Outline and evaluate research in to the duration, capacity and encoding information in short term memory.

Phonological and semantic lists can cause high, strong rates of false memories. Phonological false memories would peat in shorter durations of a presentation, but semantic false memory rates would start to increase with more spread out presentation times. It is also theorized that the semantic and phonological lists are similar with spreading activation, but the processing could differ when it was the speed and depth. Semantic false memory requires deeper conceptual processing for the semantic false memory to activate. Shallow perceptual activation of phonological lures decay faster than semantic activation. When other factors are constant for false recall rates, the rates for phonological and semantic lists are similar. The False recognition rates for phonological lists are lower than semantic lists by twenty to thirty percent.

The phonological loop also known as the articulatory loop deals with sound or phonological information. The loop consists of two parts: a short term memory store with auditory memory traces which can rapidly decay and an articulatory rehearsal component that can recover the memory traces. It is assumed that articulatory verbal information automatically enters the phonological store. Information that is presented visually can be transformed into phonological code by silent articulation hence encoded into the phonological store 8. The sound of the speech is stored in the phonological store “inner ear” so that it can be remembered in the temporal order on the

Research has shown that there is “greater activation in the left inferior frontal and medial temporal lobes” (Stanford, 2006, p. 208) during the encoding of words which were later remembered as compared to those which were forgotten. The sensations perceived by sensory nerves are decoded in the hippocampus of the brain into a single experience (Mastin, 2010). The hippocampus analyses new information and compares and asssociates it with previously stored memory (Mastin, 2010). Human memory is associative in that new information can be remembered better if it can be associated to previously acquired, firmly consolidated information (Mastin, 2010). The various pieces of information are then stored in different parts of the brain (Mastin, 2010). Though the exact method by which this information is later identified and recalled has yet to be discovered, it is understood that ultra-short term sensory memory is converted into short term memory which can then later be consolidated into long term memory (Mastin, 2010).

Author used the example of doubling the short term memory to give a picture of how the improvement of human memory would be.

Further evidence for the existence of the phonological loop comes from Conrads and Hulls (1975 in Passer, 2009) experiment in which they examined the effect of phonological similarity. They found that serial recall in a list of similar sounding words tended to yield poorer results with participants finding it difficult to remember compared to words that sounded different. It has also been found that recall in semantically similar words tended to have little or no effect, supporting the idea that verbal information is transferred in a phonological manner in working memory. In addition, Vallar and Papagno (1995 in Smith, 2007) found that the phonological store in brain damaged patients were dysfunctional.

This research is about replicating Baddeley’s study on the semantic coding of long-term memory. Baddeley’s study on the semantic coding of long-term memory is one his famous 3 experiments in finding a cognitive alternative for how memory works. Baddeley’s working memory model charts his growing realization that memory was much more complicated than the multi-store model made out.

As for the evidence of the working memory system, two British researches, Alan Baddley and Graham Hitch, have proposed a model in how to explain the working memory system. They have suggested that the system contains many different parts, and that the main working part of the system is the central executive. This central part is able to delegate tasks for the low-level “assistants” to handle, since these assistants are not able to actually analyze a situation on their own. The articulatory rehearsal loop is one of the assistances that allows a person to remember, and is the most beneficial in many ways. This assistant allows you to recall information that is previously stated by repetitively stating the information in our head, which is known as subvolcalization, or silent speech. Furthermore, Baddley and Hitch’s model suggest that we are able to see the existence of this working memory through “sound-alike” errors, because our bodies rely on this rehearsal loop or memory to recall information. In a study, there was a control group which was given a normal digit-span test. In the other group, people were asked to perform concurrent articulation when they took the test. Although this concurrent articulation is not difficult, it does affect the use of the articulatory loop and decreases the memory. With that being said, manipulation of a

In the last half century several theories have emerged with regard to the best model for human memory. In each of these models there was a specific way to help people recall words and

Storage in human memory is one of three core process of memory, along with Recall and Encoding. It refers to the retention of information, which has been achieved through the encoding process, in the brain for a prolonged period of time until it is accessed through recall. Modern memory psychology differentiates the two distinct type of memory storage: short-term memory and long-term memory. In addition, different memory models have suggested variations of existing short-term and long-term memory to account for different ways of storing memory

The current lab experiment was a partial replication of Craik and Tulving’s 1975 study. The aim was to investigate the effect of phonetic and semantic encoding on correct recognition of words. The research hypothesis was semantically encoded words have a higher rate of correct recognition then words that have been phonetically encoded. This was a one-tailed hypothesis, as previous research supported it. The null hypothesis was that the results will show no difference between words that are successfully recognised from the two levels of encoding, and any difference will be due to chance. The independent variable was the encoding level – Phonetic or Semantic – and the dependent variable was the number of correctly recognized words on a standardized recognition sheet. An independent measures design was used, with opportunity sampling to select 20 participants – 10 male, 10 female – who were split into phonetic and semantic groups of 10 each. The findings were that phonetic encoding had a mean of 17.2, and semantic encoding had a mean of 27.8. The Mann-Whitney U test showed that the results had a significance level of 0.01. Therefore, this experiment’s data can be considered 99% significant; the research hypothesis was supported and the null hypothesis was rejected.
