Case study for levels of processing

Answer 4

Aim: differing questions about words effect the number that are correctly recalled
Method:participants given a list, then asked questions involving the words (yes/no), require the different levels of processing. Then given a list of words and try to identify those that they had previously seen
Results: words identified..70% of semantic, 35% of phonetic, 15% of structural
Conclusion: more likely to remember things the more deeply they are processed
