Talk:Levels-of-processing effect

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think that this theory is an interesting one, because it shows the three processes involved in the memory recall system.

What are your evaluations of the levels of processing Darren? I think that it is quite a good theory as it has lots of evidence to support it however there was no independent measure of whether processing was deep or shallow. What are your views on this?

This theory by Craik and Lockhart suggests that memory doesn’t have separate levels of storage, unlike the multi store model. Levels of processing consider that there are an unknown number of stores of processing levels of memory being stored in different forms of information. The levels are not distinct and the boundaries separating between these levels are not present. This is my vague view on the idea, anything to add Josh?

Well, Craik & Lockhart's level of processing model provided an interesting approach to memory which concentrated on structual issues of the deeper that we process things, the easier we will remember them. Although the theory has a lot of supportive evidence from experiments there is no independent measure of whether processing was deep or shallow.

I will be soon (December 6th) completely redoing this page for a class (Psychology and Free Will, taught by Jeremy Wolfe (http://search.bwh.harvard.edu/new/lab_members.html) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology), so keep that in mind for edits. I am now in the process of performing research on this topic. FghIJklm 19:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I have finished. Feel free to modify at will. FghIJklm (talk) 05:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
