Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Craik and Lockhart's levels of processing theory argues that the depth of processing, rather than the amount of repetition or rehearsal, is what determines how well information is encoded into long-term memory. Therefore, processing material in a deep and meaningful way is critical for remembering it. The other options - creating a novel image, rehearsing, and attending - are important for memory formation but not as critical as depth of processing.
