Document Summary
Psych 207 - lecture 6 - memory processes. The levels of processing view (alternative of modal view of memory) levels-of-processing theory of memory (craik and lockhart): postulates that memory depends not on part. memory store but on initial processing done to the info @ the time. Assumes that retention and coding of info. = depends on kind of perceptual analysis done, types of processing: Shallow /superficial lvls of processing = thought to lead to less retention than: Deeper levels of processing (processing done on meaning of the info. ) improves retention/memory incidental learning: retention of info. even when it is not required of/intended by, the processor. Elaboration: a technique to enhance recall sentences that specified more precisely the relation of the target word to the context were likely to increase the probability of recall more. Craik and lockhart: viewed memory as continuum of processes from the transient products of sensory analyses to the highly durable products of semantic operations .
