- Alternative Theory - Levels of Processing
- The multi-store model over emphasises the role of rehearsal
- We remember things because they are important
- We remember important events because we think about it but we don not rehearse it
- We remember also because it is interesting.
- We remember things because they are important
- This theory suggests that there are different levels of processing in the brain - shallow and deep
- Shallow processing is where we are not really thinking about the meaning
- For example, we pick out some information like the colour of something
- We are less likely to recall it
- For example, we pick out some information like the colour of something
- Deep processing includes thinking about what it means
- We think further than what is actually there
- We are likely to recall it
- We think further than what is actually there
- Shallow processing is where we are not really thinking about the meaning
- This theory contrasts with the multistore model
- The LOP thinks that there are not different stores in the memory
- There is also no structures
- There is no limit by structures such as space and time
- The LOP thinks that there are not different stores in the memory
- The LOP states that we can remember vast amounts of information in a short time if it has a meaning
- For example, people who think something is important will remember facts about it better than others
- This would lead to the ability to deep process the information
- Others only had a shallow processing
- This would lead to the ability to deep process the information
- For example, people who think something is important will remember facts about it better than others
- The multi-store model over emphasises the role of rehearsal
