The depth at which we process information determines how well it is encoded,stored,and retrieved.This statement is the central idea of the
A) long-term potentiation theory.
B) levels of processing model.
C) reconstruction theory.
D) spreading activation model.

Question

The levels of processing model suggests that the depth of processing affects encoding, storage, and retrieval of information. The model suggests that deeper level processing (e.g. semantic processing) leads to better long-term memory than shallow level processing (e.g. structural processing). The other options (A, C and D) do not focus on the depth of processing as the central idea.
