1. Levels of processing (C&L)

   • -information is not a conscious action but a consequence of the way information is processed
     • Information that is thought deeply about is more likely to be remembered
       • 3 levels- structural processing (what things look look like) least remembered
       • Acoustic processing- what things sound like
       • Semantic processing- what things mean- most remembered
   • Maintenance rehearsal
     • Rehearse information in order to preserve it for a short period of time- weak memory
   • Elaboration rehearsal
     • A deeper consideration is given to the information by giving it meaning (durable memory)
   • Evaluation
     • Strengths
       • Supporting research from craik And tulving- found that more pp's recognised words that had originally required semantic processing- suggesting that deeper processing leads to increased recall
