Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to verify the effect of phonemic recoding of figurai items on memory span in two individual subjects who, prior to the experiment proper, learned a phonemic code allowing them to recode bivariate figurai items into pronounceable two-phoneme syllables. Memory span was determined with the use of a phonemic code and with the use of the natural language where subjects in a memory span task read the items aloud in terms of the phonemic code or the natural language, respectively, and reproduced the items in figurai form in both cases. The hypothesis that reduction in the length of verbal representation with the use of phonemic recoding would increase the memory span was supported by the results. Phonemic recoding was compared with the traditional phonetic mnemonic system.
