Document Summary
We automatically process speech sounds- we have no choice they automatically go into short term memory: peg word system: example- remembering a grocerylist: one is a bun, 2 is a shoe . Sept 22: research paper info: had,fad /doll,(cid:271)ile /leer, peer God,rotten/ (cid:271)oun(cid:272)e, throw / drunk, keg (bad) (ball) (beer) variables: Iv: independent variable: 2 levels: semantic similarilty, phonological similarity. 1: position on serial position graph. ( primacy, recentcy, middle) 3: substance use (alcohol or marijuana) control groups: users vs nonusers (alcohol and marijuana) mix- factor design: 3x2x3 interactions: quazie experiment. Explain the way we made data, what type of experiment, what are the variables: what are the effects across the serial position curve for memory, discuss the potential outcomes. *talmi- neuroimaging (serial position curve)- ours is the same but smaller. Articulatory suppression: remembering another word while trying to remember a new one (the lists in class is a perfect example)
