Answer: Worse; sound
Step-by-step explanation:
Studying and carrying out anything that has to do with sound are tasking, and are what should be given complete awareness to.
One finding that supports the idea that information in working memory is represented by an acoustic (auditory) code rather than a semantic (meaning-based) code is that when participants are given a list of words to learn and then are immediately tested for recall, performance is worse when the list contains similar sound.
