More complex than MSM--focus is how depth of processing
participants were better able to recall words
which had been processed more deeply - that is, processed semantically, supporting
level of processing theory.
Semantic=what something means
Words that were processed for meaning we remembered the best/most.
This supports the levels of processing theory because it shows that one level of processing information (semantic) is remembered the best. This therefore proves that there are different levels of processing.
Craik and Tulving's research supports their level of processing theory
it is unclear whether time taken
to process, or level of processing is the actual
cause of recall
experiment lacks a degree of ecological validity
in that only word recall is tested
