What happens to the phonological similarity effect and the word length effect if you do an articulatory suppression task while encoding an STM load?

Articulatory suppression, which involves repeating an irrelevant sound (like "the" or "la") during the encoding of information into short-term memory (STM), disrupts the phonological loop component of the working memory model. This loop is responsible for the temporary storage of verbal and auditory information. When participants engage in articulatory suppression, it prevents them from rehearsing the items in the phonological loop, thus diminishing the phonological similarity effect (where similar sounding items are more difficult to remember than dissimilar ones) and the word length effect (where longer words are harder to remember than shorter ones). Both effects are reliant on the phonological loop for encoding information into STM, and articulatory suppression disrupts this process, leading to the disappearance of both effects.
