Tyler and David are studying for their psychology test. Tyler takes the time to make note cards and think about how the material actually applies to his life. He is able to make connections between material he has previously learned and the new material. David, on the other hand, is reading the textbook and relying on rote memorization. According to the levels of processing theory, who is likely to remember more material?
  1. Tyler will remember more.
  2. David will remember more.
  3. Tyler and David will remember the same amount of material.
Explanation
Answer: A - Tyler will remember more information according to the levels of processing theory.
The levels of processing theory states that the amount of processing that occurs with information encountered will determine how much of the information is ultimately retained. Because Tyler is spending time thinking about the information at a deeper level, the theory predicts he will remember more of the material as compared to David, who is relying on a shallow level of processing.
