Levels of processing theory
- Type 1 processing is shallow processing which uses maintenance rehearsal. This leads to a weak engram and therefore trace decay can occur
- Type 2 processing is deep processing and uses elaborative rehearsal. This leads to a strong engram that is a long lasting memory trace
- This gives us the three levels to processing which are: structural (color and appearance), intermediate processing called phonetic (sound) and semantic (meaning)

- Aim - to investigate how shallow and deep processing affects memory recall
- Results - Participants recalled more words that were semantically processed than structural or phonetic
- Conclusion - structural and phonetic words use shallow processing and semantic words use deep processing
- Conclusion - structural and phonetic words use shallow processing and semantic words use deep processing
- Results - Participants recalled more words that were semantically processed than structural or phonetic
- Aim - to investigate how shallow and deep processing affects memory recall
- The LOP theory can be applied to real life as it can help students and teachers learn how to revise properly and do better at exams

- Strengths are that it highlights that some infomation is processed deeper than others and showed that memory isn't a straight foreward process
- Weakness are is that it doesn't explain how or why some information is processed deeper than other information and the concept of 'depth' is vague so cannot be measured

- The process used at encoding determine how effectively the memory is stored
