Q

Craik and Lockhart (1972)

A

Started with premise, visual of word processed first, then sound, then meaning
Upper lower case, rhymes with —, semantic (would it fit into this sentence)
Greater depth of processing = better at recognising, especially if answer was yes
Tried again and replaced upper / lower with number of vowels, no evidence that slower processing increased recognition
Hyde and Jenkins 1973 supported this
