Questions and Answers

What is the difference between high-imagery words and low-imagery words?

  • Low-imagery words are high-imagery words that are difficult to remember.
  • Low-imagery words are easier to remember because they are encoded both visually and semantically.
  • High-imagery words are easier to remember because they are encoded both visually and semantically. (correct)
  • High-imagery words are abstract, while low-imagery words are concrete
  • What type of encoding involves encoding sounds and words?

  • Semantic encoding
  • Acoustic encoding (correct)
  • Visual encoding
  • Concrete encoding
  • 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.
