17% of structural, 36% of phonetic and 65% of semantic were recalled - 2EvaluationA good expansion of Multistore Models processes from STM to LTM
Recognised the importance and the complexity of processing an changed ideas of LTM being a storage facility to a complex processing system
Does not explain why
Deeper processing requires more effort, this may be why recall is then better
Depth cannot be measured and is vague
Bransford - A distinct sentence is easier remembered then an elaborate one
Ignores structure - 3Craik and LockhartPut forward this idea as a criticism of levels of processing
They concentrate on the processes involved in memory - 4Types of ProcessingShallow - The appearance

- The meaning
Involves elaboration rehearsal, linking it to other words images or info and often leads to better retention
