Phonological Encoding of Chinese Ideographs in Short-Term Memory.

Peer reviewed

Chu-Chang, Mae; Loritz, Donald J. – Language Learning, 1977

Twenty-two Cantonese-speaking Chinese students and 16 Spanish-speaking students were tested for short-term memory encoding strategies on word-recognition tests. Chinese speakers were found to encode Chinese ideographs phonologically, but both Chinese and Spanish learners of English were found to encode English words visually. (Author/CFM)
