Levels of Processing Model
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1Who proposed the Levels of Processing Model and what is the general idea?-Proposed by Craik & Lockhart 1972
-The strength of a memory trace is determined by how the original info was processed - 2What does the strength of the trace depend on in the levels of processing model?-Attention paid to stimulus
-Depth of processing carried out
-Connections with existing knowledge - 3What are the 3 types of processing in the Levels of processing model?1. Structural = SHALLOW - encode physical quality, is it in capital letters?
2. Phonemic = INTERMEDIATE - encode sound of the word, does it rhyme?
3. Semantic = DEEP - encode the meaning of the word and relate it to similar words with similar meanings - 4Research support for the levels of processing model?+ Craik & Tulving 1975 recognition test - highest recognition for stimuli processed semantically then phonologically then structurally.
+ Elias & Perfetti 1973 - significantly higher recall for words processed semantically - 5Strengths of Levels of processing model?+ Demonstrates perception, attention and memory are all closely related
+ Research support - Craik & Tulving 1975, Elias & perfetti 1973
+Explains why we remember some info longer than others
+ Real life application - revision techniques
+Focus of research on LTM shifted as a result of encoding being recognised as complex - 6Weaknesses of Levels of Processing model?- Unclear whether recall is due to time taken to process, the amount of effort required or the level of processing
- Too simplistic only focuses on processes and ignores structure
- Depth is poorly defined
- Doesn't explain why deeper processing results in better memories
