Document Summary
Levels of processing processing that people perform when they encode, and later retrieve information. Does not assume different memory stores i. e. stm, ltm but rather focuses on the different kinds of cognitive. Maintain or hold information without transferring it into deeper code. You"re not doing anything to go beyond the information e. g. : repeating a phone number over again, you"ll be able to retrieve it 5 minutes later but two months later, you"ll not able to retrieve the memory any more. Elaborate or go further/ to the meaning of the information; easier to retrieve even if it takes a long time. Transfer information into deeper code; e. g. learning a language, understanding or memorizing the word and its meaning. Provides richer multimodal codes (form an image of the information) As you make memory more unique, the more it is easier to retrieve. The more retrieval cues you make for that information, the easier for you to retrieve it later on.
