Interactive: Depth of Processing
4 / 4
In this simulation, you'll see how the depth of processing affects memory. Choose a processing level for a set of words, then test your recall. You'll notice that deeper processing, like thinking about meaning, leads to better recall than shallow processing, like focusing on letters. This demonstrates the levels of processing theory.
