Question

Dr. bryan is conducting a memory experiment. one group of participants has to decide whether each of a list of words begins with the same letter as a target word, whereas another group has to determine whether each of a list of words is a synonym or an antonym of a target word. later, all participants are asked to recall the list words. according to the _____ approach, the synonym/antonym group should outperform the initial-letter group.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: levels-of-processing approach
According to this approach, information that we process with more focus and understanding has a typically higher chance of staying within our long-term memory compared to those that isn't.
Synonym/antonym group would most likely understand the true meaning of the word and would much more likely to store them in their long-term memory/
