Get out your notes from yesterday:

1. Get out your notes from yesterday: • Checklist for success • Examination skills • DO NOW Scenario: Janet’s mum told her a long list of fruit to remember to buy and sent her to the shop. The shop was 20 minutes walk away. When Janet got there she couldn’t remember which fruit to buy, why? • How does this relate to the multi-store model?

2. Get out your notes from yesterday: • Checklist for success • Examination skills • HOMEWORK: Due Monday 4th February – Describe and evaluate the multi-store model of memory (10 marks)

3. Learning Objective: to explore the key features of the Levels of Processing model and compare it to the MSM • ALL will be able to describe the key features of the levels of processing model • MOST will be able to explain research evidence for the levels of processing model • SOME will be able to compare the Levels of Processing model to the MSM

4. Progress measure • 1. Psychologists were investigating the levels of processing model of memory. They presented participants with a list of words. After each word, there was a question which the participants had to answer. There were three types of questions: • A questions about the meaning of the words; • B questions about the sound of the words; • C questions about the appearance of the words. • For each type of question, A, B and C above, write down the level of processing that is involved in answering the questions. (3 marks) • 2. Describe one study in which psychologists investigated levels of processing. Indicate why the study was conducted, the method used, the results obtained and the conclusion drawn. (4 marks)

5. Levels of processing: Intro: visual, auditory, semantic Is the word in capital letters? chair Does the word rhyme with GREEN? BEAN Does the word fit this sentence: ‘The soldier picked up his __________’? rifle Is the word in lower case letters? FLOWER Does the word fit this sentence: ‘The woman _______ on the train’? slept Does the word rhyme with MEND? Pool Is the word in capital letters? MEANING Does the word fit this sentence: ‘Yesterday we saw a _________’ fence Does the word rhyme with HOUSE? MOUSE Does the word fit this sentence: ‘There are __________ growing in my garden’ doors

6. Levels of processing: answers Is the word in capital letters? chair VISUAL Does the word rhyme with GREEN? BEAN ACOUSTIC Does the word fit this sentence: ‘The soldier picked up his __________’? rifle SEMANTIC Is the word in lower case letters? FLOWER VISUAL Does the word fit this sentence: ‘The woman _______ on the train’? Slept SEMANTIC Does the word rhyme with MEND? Pool ACOUSTIC Is the word in capital letters? MEANING VISUAL Does the word fit this sentence: ‘Yesterday we saw a _________’ fence SEMANTIC Does the word rhyme with HOUSE? MOUSE ACOUSTIC Does the word fit this sentence: ‘There are __________ growing in my garden’ doors SEMANTIC

7. Order of remembering • BEST: rifle, slept, fence, doors • MIDDLE: bean, pool, mouse • WORST: chair, flower, meaning

8. Craik and Lockhart (1972) Levels of Processing Model of Memory SHALLOW Unlike the MSM this is not a physical ‘model’ which you can draw. There are NEVER any marks for drawing it so don’t waste precious time doing so! Visual Acoustic Semantic DEEP

9. Introduction: Mind map jigsaws • Your group will summarise their information onto your mind map • There are 4 lots of information to complete in total • Each of you will receive a number from 1-4, this will be your ‘expert’ group • Then the 1s/ 2s/ 3s/ 4s from different groups will work together to share their information

10. Review • 1. Psychologists were investigating the levels of processing model of memory. They presented participants with a list of words. After each word, there was a question which the participants had to answer. There were three types of questions: • A questions about the meaning of the words; • B questions about the sound of the words; • C questions about the appearance of the words. • For each type of question, A, B and C above, write down the level of processing that is involved in answering the questions. (3 marks) • 2. Describe one study in which psychologists investigated levels of processing. Indicate why the study was conducted, the method used, the results obtained and the conclusion drawn. (4 marks)

11. Short-answer questions: review • 1. Psychologists were investigating the levels of processing model of memory. They presented participants with a list of words. After each word, there was a question which the participants had to answer. There were three types of questions: • A questions about the meaning of the words; • B questions about the sound of the words; • C questions about the appearance of the words. • For each type of question, A, B and C above, write down the level of processing that is • involved in answering the questions. (3 marks) • ANSWERS • A – Semantic/deep • B – Phonetic/acoustic/phonemic/phonological/intermediate/auditory • C – Structural/shallow/visual

12. 2.Describe one study in which psychologists investigated levels of processing. Indicate why the study was conducted, the method used, the results obtained and the conclusion drawn. (4 marks) • [AO1 = 4] • Likely study – Craik and Tulving (1975) • 1 mark – why the study was conducted (must go beyond the stem) • 1 mark – information about the method • 1 mark – indication of results • 1 mark – indication of a conclusion to be drawn • Descriptions of levels of processing studies were generally quite well done. Some candidates suggested the participants were given a list of words ‘to learn’ rather than appreciating the incidental learning of the words after answering different types of questions.

Choose one of these questions to summarise your learning today • How are you going to remember this learning? • What is the key aspect you will remember from this lesson? • What has this lesson reminded you of? • Which senses were most important in today’s learning? • What did you learn today that you didn’t know before? • What have you learned that could be useful elsewhere? • What have you learned elsewhere that is like this? • How will you apply what you have learnt?
