The levels-of-processing theory suggests that memory retention depends on the depth of processing. Deep processing involves semantic analysis (meaning), while shallow processing involves more superficial aspects such as physical or sensory characteristics. Intermediate processing involves organizing or structuring information into meaningful units, which is more in-depth than shallow processing but not as deep as semantic processing.
