[Psychology] Psych Question

[Kate Lefel]

Hi Jane
I wouldn't stress about it - Ross' notes sound like they explain
elaborative rehearsal by looking at the levels of processing theory,
which proposes that we process info at either a structural, phonemic or
semantic level. Studies have simply shown that semantic level processing
is most effective in transferral of info to LTM - thus elaborative
rehearsal.
I can't promise it won't be on the exam in that form -  but the levels
of processing theory is NOT on the study design. I won't be teaching
it.
Cheers
Kate

Hi Everyone,

 

Just a quick question.

 

A student of mine went to a lecture run by Roger Edwards and he spoke
about Elaborative Rehearsal.

 

This is what he said students need to know:

 

- structural encoding

- phonemic encoding

- semantic encoding.

 

There is nothing written about this in my textbooks and so I wondered
what you all thought about this with regards to being learnt for the
end
of year exam.

 

Thanks,

 

Jane.
