1
Q

What was the aim?

A

To test the claims of the levels of processing framework in particular the experiment aimed to investigate whether processing words at different levels affected the recall of words.

2
Q

What was the sample?

A

24 participants

3
Q

How many words were shown and through what instrument?

A

-60 words shown through a tachistoscope

4
Q

How long was each word shown for?

A

-200 milliseconds

5
Q

What happened before each next word was displayed?

A

The participants were asked a yes/no question

6
Q

What happened for structural processing?

A

-Capital letters of not

7
Q

What happened for phonetic processing?

A

-Did the word rhyme or not?

8
Q

What happened for semantic processing?

A

Did the word fit into the given sentence and make sense?

9
Q

What was the IV?

A

The level of processing , structural , phonetic or semantic

10
Q

What design did the experiment use and why?

A

Repeated measures as all participants took part in all 3 conditions

11
Q

How did the experimenter ensure no order effects?

A

They used counterbalancing and run the words in a variety of orders to ensure no one type of processing was first or last

12
Q

What happened at the end of the word list?

A

The P’s were given an unexpected recall task were they had to recognise the 60 test words from a list of 180

13
Q

What was the DV?

A

Number of words correctly recognised

14
Q

What percentage of the words were remembered structurally?

A

18%

15
Q

What percentage of words were remembered phonetically?

A

50%

16
Q

What number of words were remembered semantically?

A

80%

17
Q

What did they also note about the P’s recall of the words?

A

It took them longer to respond to the words that required a deeper level of processing

18
Q

What did Craik and Tulving conclude?

A

That the experiment supports the prediction made by levels of processing that the deeper information is processed the more its likely to be remembered
