Depth of Processing and Memory |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| People remember information better when they process it in a meaningful rather than superficial way. In a 1975 experiment, subjects were shown a series of words and asked questions about each one. The questions induced subjects to pay attention to the word’s physical appearance, the way it sounded, or its meaning. The more deeply they processed the words, the better they recognized them on a later test. | ||||||
