The levels of processing model focus on the depth of processing associated in memory and predict the extensive information which is treated, however the longer a memory trace will persist.

Shallow Processing

Shallow Processing happens in two forms;

1. Structural processing (appearance) which is when we encode only the material qualities.

2. Phonemic processing – which is when we encode the sound.

Shallow processing only requires carrying rehearsal and leads to the only short-term memory of data.

Deep Processing

Deep Processing involves

Semantic processing, which occurs when we encode the significance of a word and compare it to alike words with similar meaning.

Deep processing comprises elaboration practice which involves a more significant investigation such as images, thinking, associations etc of knowledge and guides to better recall.
