Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To accurately encode and remember all the details of each video game system, Matt would have needed to engage in deep processing, which involves making meaningful connections and associations with the information being learned. This is a higher level of processing than shallow processing, which involves only surface-level features of the information, or intermediate processing, which involves some level of analysis but not as much depth as deep processing. Impersonal processing is not a recognized term in cognitive psychology.
