DISCUSSION Explanation of the findings From the results it can be clearly seen that the participants performed significantly better on the visual test than the audio test. The descriptive data showed that participants in the visual test scored on average 16 however those in the audio test scored only 12 on average which highlights the clear differences between the groups. From the inferential data it can be seen that the results are significant at the 0.005 level which shows that these results are very significant and not just down to chance. This disproves the original hypothesis where it was predicted that participants would perform better on the audio test. This therefore suggests that visual encoding is the preferred method of encoding in short term memory rather than audio. However the original aim was achieved as the preferred method of encoding was found and as the results were significant at such strict levels...
