Document Summary
Engage in deep processing (add meaning to meaningless lists) Organize (e. g. categories or hierarchies; e. g. bower, 1969) Wanted to look at people"s abilities to memorize lists. Presented information in a hierarchy (visual hierarchy) One group corresponded the lists to something meaningful, semantically. Groceries, different categories of groceries (vegetables, diary), in the vegetables category there were actually different vegetables. Another group of participants visually saw the same type of hierarchy but semantically had no meaning, the items were all mixed up. By the fourth trial, participants who had a meaningful hierarchy reported all the items, which was double the other condition. Make it personally relevant (rogers et al. , 1977) We rehearse information more when thinking about ourselves and how things affect us, information about ourselves tend to be distinct to us. Generate the information yourself (slameka & graf, 1978) If you put something in your own words, you are much more likely to remember it.
