The levels-of-processing approach suggests:
A)that specific information will be retained for longer when the level of information processing is deeper.
B)the existence of the three separate memory stores: sensory memory,shot-term memory,and long-term memory.
C)that the lesser the intensity of the initial processing of information,the more likely we are to remember it.
D)that when the initial level of processing of specific information is shallow,the information will be retained for longer.

Question

The levels-of-processing approach suggests that the depth or degree of processing of information affects how well it will be remembered. When information is processed at a deeper level, it is more likely to be remembered for longer periods of time. This theory suggests that memory is not comprised of three separate stores as suggested in choice B, and that the intensity of initial processing affects memory retention as suggested in choice C. Choice D is incorrect because the theory suggests the opposite - that shallow processing leads to weaker memory retention.
