Articulatory suppression prevents irrelevant speech from interfering with visual memory recall. This finding supports the idea that speech must be articulated to be vulnerable to such memory interference.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Human Memory

Background:

  • Irrelevant speech disrupts serial recall of visual information.
  • Articulatory suppression eliminates this disruption, suggesting phonological encoding is key.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate alternative explanations for the irrelevanct speech effect.
  • To test if articulatory suppression creates a floor effect or strategic code abandonment.

Main Methods:

  • Replicated Salamé and Baddeley's (1982) study.
  • Used both six- and nine-item sequences under articulatory suppression.

Main Results:

  • No effect of irrelevant speech was found under articulatory suppression.
  • This held true even for shorter, six-item sequences.

Conclusions:

  • Findings replicate and extend Salamé and Baddeley's (1982) results.
  • Visually presented material requires articulation to be susceptible to irrelevant speech interference.
