Attending to the sound of a word is the shallowest level of processing as described by the levels-of-processing model of memory, as it involves only sensory information and does not require deeper semantic processing. Recalling an object's function, thinking about the meaning of a word, and recalling that an object was rectangular all require more semantic processing and therefore represent deeper levels of processing.
