概要When people are faced with diverse information and complex content, they often organize it into groups and rearrange it to simplify the information they need to remember. For example, grouping words with similar sentence patterns or the same rhyme scheme into the same group. This method of linking words that have the same pronunciation together to be memorized improves the efficiency of encoding and storing information, and is often used in graphic design, presentation layout, and commercial advertisements. In order to understand the effects of phonology on working memory and to identify the phonological variables that may affect memory, this study examines three types of phonological associations that are commonly seen in daily life, namely, initial, final and initial-final same shape, and observes how phonologically identical words and phrases affect working memory when they are arranged in a single layout.
