Data indicate that,all things being equal,recall performance will be best if materials are encoded with ________ processing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep processing involves elaborating and connecting the new information with existing knowledge and this leads to better encoding and retrieval. Therefore, recall performance will be best if materials are encoded with deep processing. Shallow processing involves processing only the superficial characteristics of the information, whereas intermediate processing involves making some connections but not elaborating them to the full extent. Sensory processing only involves registering the sensory features of the information without any cognitive processing.
