Pam finds it difficult to learn the alphabet, until she hears the alphabet song. then she can easily remember it. this is an example of encoding.

Listening to and remember the alphabet is an example of acoustic encoding. Acoustic encoding is used to implant memories with the use of auditory stimuli. In order to use this process the sounds are sub-vocally rehearsed in a phonological loop. Similar to when a song gets stuck in our heads and we hear it over and over again causing us to remember the words.
