Long-term Memory Storage
Long-term Memory Storage
- Levels of Processing Model of Memory, Craik and Lockhart (1972).
- Learning depends on how information is processed and not on the stage it is in.
- Processing can be anything from shallow to deep.
- Shallow processing: Structural, e.g. "Does this word begin with a capital letter?"
- Intermediate processing: Acoustic, e.g. "Does this word rhyme with some other word?"
- Deep processing: Semantic, e.g. "How pleasant is this?"
- According to the theory, retention and retrieval will be superior for deeper processing.
