  • 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.
