Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The levels-of-processing approach suggests that thinking about material leads to better memory than maintenance rehearsal, as it focuses on the depth of processing rather than the amount of repetition or time spent with the material. It suggests that deeper processing, which involves thinking about meaning and relevance of the material, leads to better retention than shallow processing or simply repeating the material.
