At the neurological level, deep encoding differs from shallow encoding because deep encoding involves:
A) higher brain centres
B) greater use of the frontal lobes
C) greater use of the temporal lobe
D) activation of more brain regions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep encoding involves activation of more brain regions as it requires more attention, elaboration and association with existing knowledge. Shallow encoding, on the other hand, involves minimal processing and is associated with less activation of brain regions. The other options (A, B, C) are not necessarily true as they do not exclusively apply to deep encoding.
