Study Notes
- There are three types of encoding: semantic, visual, and acoustic.
- Semantic encoding involves encoding words and their meanings.
- William Bousfield demonstrated semantic encoding in an experiment where participants memorized words.
- Visual encoding involves encoding images, while acoustic encoding involves encoding sounds and words.
- High-imagery words are easier to remember because they are encoded both visually and semantically.
- Concrete words are high-imagery words, while abstract words are low-imagery words.
- Participants tend to recall words in categories when they are semantically encoded.
- Semantic encoding was first demonstrated by William Bousfield in 1935.
- High-imagery words build stronger memories.
- Visual encoding involves creating mental pictures of words.
