Deep processing
Deep processing is learning through meaning, connections and understanding, not just superficial repetition.
Definition
In the theory of levels of processing, deeper, semantic processing of information promotes better remembering than shallow focus on form. Deep processing involves asking questions, connecting to prior knowledge, creating examples, and explaining in your own words. It does not mean sitting on the material longer, but better quality of cognitive work.
