Short-Term Memory Difference on New Language Memorization

Abstract Baddeley’s model describes working memory (WM) as a system for maintaining information in conscious awareness through a central executive system housing two buffers. The effects of short-term memorization techniques on word recall for the Swedish language were examined. Data collection involved presenting a novel language, Swedish, to student participants who then completed a questionnaire based on group assignment through Qualtrics. Three individuals were removed from the data set since participants did not watch the assigned video. Our findings suggested no significant difference among the groups, indicating that memorization techniques do not affect word recall for Swedish words.
