Mechanics of how different information is processed through different stages (or systems) of memory- how memory works. Connections and timing of memory processes- simultaneous processing of information across multiple neural networks: levels-of-processing model. Depth that information is processed and how it impacts strength of parallel connections within memory systems. Strength and duration of memory increases as the level of processing deepens.
