- Levels of Processing Study
- Aim
- to test the levels of processing theory
- Procedure
- 24 P's - shown 60 words using a tachistoscope (apparatus exposes visual stimuli) - then asked questions about the word
- questions required structural, phonetic or semantic processing
- then asked to recognise the words from a list of 180 - recall measured through recognition task
- repeated measures design for phonetic, structural and semantic
- Results
- 80% semantic, 50% phonetic 18% structural recalled
- Conclusion
- the deeper the processing the more durable the memory
- Evaluation
- Strengths
- The study has a practical application to real life(1st) Students can be taught to make notes which have meaning rather than just reading info to revise (2nd)
- lab - control of extraneous variables & IV likely to influence the DV
- Weaknesses
- shallow processing could lead to better processing if distinctive (1st) There are ways of remembering information other than just its meaning/E.g. you may see something so distinctive & create a mental image (2nd)
- Strengths
- Aim
