In measurements of sound pressure or loudness of sound, one pascal is equal to 94 decibels SPL. The quietest sound a human can hear, known as the threshold of hearing, is 0 dB SPL, or 20 ÂµPa. The airtightness of buildings is measured at 50 Pa.
WEAVER++ defines phonological encoding as the process by which the phonological code (i.e., phonemes or syllables) of a word is retrieved and reassembled in an incremental, just-in-time manner to allow for efficient construction of phonological words.
Semantic Encoding-encoding of meaning, including the meaning of words. Imagery- mental pictures; a powerful aid to effortful processing, especially when combined with semantic encoding. Mnemonics- memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices. Chunking- organizing items into familiar, manageable units; often occurs automatically. Iconic Memory- a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli; a photographic or picture-image memory lasting no more than a few tenths of a second.
