What do we encode?

We process information in three key ways or codes (Ellis 1987) (a) visual code (images) b) an acoustic code (sounds) or (c) semantic code (meanings) However, we usually encode information as sounds even when the information is visual
This was demonstrated in a study in which subjects were shown a series of six letters and immediately tried too recall them. The subjects’ errors showed that they more often confused letters that sounds alike (e.g. Q and O). This indicated the letters, though presented visually, had been encoded according to their sounds (Conrad, 1962).
