Answer 2

The three levels of processing are -

2. Phonemic processing (Part of shallow Processing)

3. Semantic processing (Deep Processing)

Step-by-step explanation:

Craik and Lockhart in 1972 defined three levels of processing of memory –

a) Shallow Processing – In shallow processing, repetition is done to hold the memory of things. It has two forms

1. Structural Processing - The physical qualities associated with something is processed at this level of memory processing.

For example – colour, shape, size etc. of any object

2. Semantic processing – The sound associated with something is processed at this level

b. Deep Processing –

3. Semantic processing - At this stage the meaning associated with a word is encoded. It is an in-depth analysis of information which helps in recalling the things.
