Levels of Processing Evaluation
- Students can be taught to make
notes which have meaning rather
than just reading information that
makes no sense to help them revise
- so the model does have
applications to real life
- The model has support from Craik and
Tulvings study which demonstrated
that semantically processed words
were more deeply processed
- and therefore better
recalled than other
shallow information
- However this empirical support is
lab based and therefore lacks
ecological validity as both the task
and setting are artificial
- There are too many problems with
actually defining deep processing and
why it is effective
- Baddeley critisises it for being circular
- Material which has been deeply
processed will be remembered better
- But you could say that material is
well remembered because it must
have been processed deepy
- Eysenck and Eysenck (1980) argue
even shallow processing could lead to
better processing if the material is
distinctive
- e.g. you may see something so distinctive
that it creates a mental image
