Repetition and depth of processing

摘要: This paper is an empirical and theoretical critique of the depth-of-processing view ( Craik & Lockhart, Journal Verbal Learning Behavior, 1972 , 11, 671–684). Three new experiments demonstrate that repetition at phonemic depth processing does facilitate memory, regardless whether repetitions are massed or distributed dependent variable uncued recall, cued recognition. Previous studies reporting null effects reviewed called into question. These results, combined with logical shortcomings in principle deeper facilites imply current not valid as a scientific theory, explanation, description available data.
