Hyde and Jenkins's (1973) experiment demonstrated that the type of encoding task (deep vs. shallow processing) significantly affects memory recall, but whether participants intended to learn the list or not (intentionality) did not have a significant impact. This supports the importance of the nature of processing over the intention to learn.
