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.
] describes the phonological loop as part of working memory; together with the visuospatial sketchpad, episodic buffer, and central executive. Essentially, all auditory or verbal information is immediately entered into the phonological store, where it will be maintained for 1â2 s. The articulatory rehearsal process helps maintain information in the phonological store through subvocal rehearsal of the information.
