why does Badeley's study support the idea that short term memory was coded in echoic format?

Baddeley's study shows that participarts struggled to recall worlds from a list when they sounded similar, so one can assume it is because it has been coded as very similar sets of information, making the brain get mix the two up. This therefore is evidence for the brain encoding information accoustically.
