Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep processing and shallow processing refer to different ways in which information is encoded in memory. Shallow processing involves surface-level processing that focuses on the physical characteristics of stimuli, such as their appearance or sound, and does not involve making meaningful connections. On the other hand, deep processing involves making connections between information and engaging in more meaningful processing, which enhances retention of information in memory. Therefore, the correct choice is B) encoding.
