Levels-of-processing effect

There has been different research that proposed to explain how working memory capacity and different processing strategies enhance or interfere with memory performance. Although the literature cover different research, this review will focus in encoding and retrieval process of information, and the importance of working memory capacity. There is an important relation between individual differences in Working Memory Capacity (WMC) and retrieving information from long-term memory (LTM). In this literature review research suggested that encoding and retrieval of information depends heavily on the type of strategy being use by individuals. There are different types of processing strategies. However, this paper will exclusively focus on shallow…

throughout the entire life of human beings. More so, the chapter also helps to understand that emotions also have a significant effect on memory in many ways. It also shows how the memory is retrieved, the processes involved, and also displays how memory accuracy is dependent on the researcher’s extent of memory measure. Furthermore, the autobiographical memory is discussed too in this chapter; in addition, the author describes how the day to day life experiences influence the memory. In this…

translation priming studies utilizing vocabulary from two languages offer an informative perspective into these processing systems of second language in the mind of a bilingual or a second language learner. The findings in this type of research provide important insights to help implement teaching methods and facilitate learning as more students are expected to learn a second language as part of their required curriculum, and as more children…

acquired a levels of processing model that focuses on the processes included with memory rather than short-term memory and long-term memory, and this model was used in a memory experiment. Questions in this experiment were answered with a “yes” or “no” about visual, linguistic, or grammatical features of a word connected with all questions. Instantly after answering the questions, subjects were asked to memorize as many of the connected words as probable. Memory was highest for questions that…

There are many computational speech production models regarding serial language processing. In these models the stages are independent and information flow is unidirectional/top-down – lemma level processes feed lexeme level processes, but not the other way around. One of the most widely known and discussed speech production models was proposed by Bock & Levelt (1994). This model presented four distinct stages of processing. The process begins at the conceptual stage, a message-level…

to the levels of processing theory. The study being replicated is Mandler and Pearlstone (1966). This study was chosen as investigates schematic processing, and the role it plays on subsequent recall. A schema is the mental representation of an object, person, events or actions developed from our past knowledge of the world; it allows us to make broad generalizations on how things work around us. This is important as schemas affect our cognitive processes, and heavily integrated into our daily…

discussion. This caused a number of questions to arise regarding the affect race has in juvenile justice decision making. Are these racial disparities a result of discrimination or bias that is prevalent within arresting officers, the juvenile court or both? This paper will examine the effect of race and social context on the treatment, processing and incarceration…

Creativity and abstract processing are beneficial traits to subjects in the arts and humanities based on the level of creative analysis that is needed in both. In one study, there appeared to be no significant change in these skills among low and moderate ambient noise levels. When noise levels were high, however, specific tasks in creative thinking were disregarded after a short while, indicative of reduced information processing, translating to a reduced cognitive carrying capacity (Mehta et.…

don’t give enough emphasizes on the effect that emotion has on how well we can learn. Students often find themselves frustrated on the fact that they are unable to learn a certain subject, but they never stop to think why that is. In most situations it had to do with the attitude or maybe a negative emotion they might be feeling. According to David A. Sousa’s “Mind, Brain, Education,” we develop nonconsicious emotional reaction to certain scenarios (73). For instance, take a scenario where a…

both language processing skills and vocabulary knowledge between infants from rich and poor families were equivalent to a six-month gap by 2 years of age? In other words, would you believe somebody if they were to tell you that, starting at a very young age, children from families of high economic status have proven to be more intellectually advanced than children from lower-class families? Most people would not. While many argue that neither economic status nor social class has an effect on…
