Which statement below is most closely associated with levels of processing theory?

B) Events that are repeated enough can influence our behavior, even after we have forgotten the original events.
C) Deep processing involves paying closer attention to a stimulus than shallow processing and results in better processing.

Levels of processing theory suggests that deeper processing leads to better encoding and retrieval of information in long-term memory. This is in contrast to shallow processing, which focuses on surface-level features of stimuli and leads to poorer memory performance. Therefore, statement C is most closely associated with levels of processing theory.
