SHALLOW INPUT PROCESSING DOES NOT INDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT-DEPENDENT RECOGNITION Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Four experiments examined Smiths (1986) hypothesis that environmental context (EC)-dependent recognition memory would be greater following shallow processing than following deep processing. All experiments found effects of level of processing manipulations, yet none found evidence of EC-dependent recognition. Experiment 3 included recognition reaction times as well as accuracy levels. It was concluded that Smiths (1986) EC-dependent recognition memory findings must have been due to some characteristic of the incidental learning task used in that study other than its shallow processing level. 1988, Psychonomic Society, Inc..
