Radna memorija pri dosjećanju riječi
Abstract
The goal of this thesis is to determine whether a component of working memory known as the phonological loop and its rehearsal mechanism are naturally employed by participants when performing a free recall task. Before it delves into the specifics of the research, it offers a brief overview of existing working memory research, the phonological loop model and its function. It takes a look at free recall and the effects that often occur in the results of free recall tasks, namely primacy and recency effects, the inverse modality effect, the word length effect, the word duration effect and the word frequency effect. It also examines lexical retrieval as a possible effect of intrusion errors and the kind of intrusion errors that might be expected in the results of a free recall task. The research involved twenty participants, half of whom did the task in English and half in Croatian. The participants were shown two lists of fourteen words each. The English lists contained words with the same number of letters, but each list had words with a different number of syllables. The words in the English lists were of varying degree of frequency. The Croatian lists contained words with the same number of syllables, but one list had words with a smaller number of letters. The words in the Croatian lists were roughly matched for frequency. Participants were divided into four groups (two groups for each language). The first group for each language was shown the words in English and Croatian…
