Robert's strategy of processing the meaning of his homework fully corresponds to deep processing, which is known to promote long-term retention of information. Shallow processing (A) is a more superficial level of processing that does not involve much elaboration or reflection. Consolidation (C) is a process by which memories are strengthened over time, but it does not refer to a specific cognitive strategy. Confabulation (D) is a memory error where a person unwittingly fabricates details/details of an experience or memory that did not actually occur.
