Question

question 10 of 10
the levels of processing theory says that what is necessary to form lasting memories?

a. emotional processing
b. symbolic processing
c. deep processing
d. shallow processing

Explanation:

The levels of processing theory posits that deeper, more meaningful analysis (semantic, elaborative) of information is necessary for forming lasting memories. Shallow processing (e.g., phonetic or structural) leads to shorter - term memory, while deep processing (focusing on meaning) enhances long - term retention. Emotional and symbolic processing are not central to this theory's core claim about memory formation.

Answer:

C. Deep processing
