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 making meaningful connections and associations with information being encoded, which leads to better retention and retrieval of that information. Shallow processing focuses on surface-level characteristics and sensory features, which may not be as useful for long-term memory. Intermediate processing falls between shallow and deep processing, and may not be as effective as deep processing alone. Therefore, deep processing is the best choice for optimal recall performance.
