"memory" from the levels of processing perspective
From MerrimackWiki
[edit]
Definition
According to this persepective, memory depends on how information is encoded and processed. For Craik and Lockhart it is known as a by-product.

Significance
When we encounter a stimulus, we immediately start processing the information we received from that stimulus. This processing follows a particular parttern which involves an increasingly deeper analysis of the stimulus that involves meaning. Memory "stores" such as sensory memory, STM, and LTM, are an artifact of experimental methods.
