⭐memory systems - ONLY LEVELS OF PROCESSING SO FAR

levels of processing model

concentrates on the processes involved in memory not the structures like the MSM

suggests that it is the meaning of the information that determines whether it sticks

the deeper the processing the longer the memory trace

levels of the levels of processing model

structural

phonetic

semantic

structural level of the levels of processing model

encoded on physical qualities such as how the letters of a word look

only involves maintenance rehersal

leads to short term retention of information

phonetic level of the levels of processing model

encoded through sound

semantic level of the levels of processing model

encoded by the meaning and relating it to words with similar meaning

involves elaborative rehersal with a more meaningful analysis such as associations which lead to better recall

levels of processing model advantages

• explains that of we understand info we are more likely to remember it

• the more we consider and analyse info the more we remember it

the levels of processing model disadvantages

• longer time to process may not mean better recall

• deep is difficult to define and what it involves

• does not take into account individual differences
