Document Summary
Page 172-198, 26 pages page 1 of 7. Chapter 7: long-term memory encoding & retrieval. One of the main factors that determines how one can retrieve information from ltm is the way information was encoded during learning! Levels-of-processing theory: craik & lockhart (1972): levels of processing (lop) theory where memory depends on how information is encoded, with deeper processing resulting in better encoding and retrieval than shallow processes. It occurs in maintenance rehearsal when an item is repeated without considering its meaning: deep processing involves close attention, focusing on an item"s meaning and relating it to something else. This occurs during elaborative rehearsal and results in better memory than shallow processing: method: a question is presented, followed by a word, and then the subject"s response. Shallow processing by asking questions about the word"s physical characteristics, deeper processing about the word"s sound, and deepest processing involved the word"s meaning.
