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.
There are three or four main types of encoding: 1  Acoustic encoding is the processing and encoding of sound, words and other auditory input for storage and later retrieval . This is aided by the concept of thephonological loop, which allows input within our echoic memory to be sub-vocally rehearsed in order to facilitate remembering.
