Q

Procedure

A

METHOD
Participants had to recall word lists whilst blocking inner voice:

  • Spoken mode of presentation:
    1) C1: Rhyming words
    2) C2: Non-rhyming words
  • Written mode of presentation:
    3) C3: Rhyming words
    4) C4: Non-rhyming words

Q

Results

A
  • Phonological similarity effect between conditions 1 and 2 (1 was harder to recall)
  • No phonological similarity effect between conditions 3 and 4 (equally recalled)

Q

Findings

A

When articulatory rehearsal is inhibited (articulatory suppression):

  • Spoken information can still enter phonological store (inner ear) directly
    1) Rhyming words create similar traces so easy to confuse
    2) Yes phonological similarity effect
  • Written information enters visuospatial sketchpad instead as it doesn’t get recorded into sounds
    1) Information is coded visually so traces are hard to confuse
    2) No phonological similarity effect
