level of processing Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

The Levels of Processing model, created by Fergus I. M. Craik and Robert S. Lockhart in 1972, describes memory recall of stimuli as a function of the depth of mental processing. Deeper levels of analysis produce more elaborate, longer-lasting, and stronger memory traces than shallow levels of analysis.

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.
