Levels of Processing in Human Memory (PLE: Memory)

<p>As a conceptual framework for the investigation of human memory the levels-of-processing paradigm had enjoyed immense popularity since its introduction in the early 1970s. It was the impetus behind literally hundreds of experiments and was used as an explanation for a wide range of retention phenomena. Consequently a wealth of data and theory had emerged and this title assimilates and evaluates this information. Originally published in 1979 the distinguished contributors to the volume – both proponents and opponents of the levels-of-processing framework – present here their latest data and ideas on a viewpoint that has been a tremendous influence in memory research and related areas.</p>
