The levels-of-processing approach suggests that deeper processing of information leads to better memory retention, and that simply repeating information (maintenance rehearsal) is not as effective as actively thinking about and processing the information. This approach is not concerned with procedural memory (which is a type of memory for skills), and does not suggest that meaningless material produces better memory.
