“Such findings are in line with the levels of processing (LOP) theory of human memory (Craik and Lockhart, 1972), which posits that memory for an item depends on the level or relative depth at which the item is processed in a learner's cognitive system.”

In the citing paper
“Third, interactive tasks in games can promote deeper levels of processing, increasing the retention of vocabulary knowledge (Craik and Lockhart, 1972; Hulstijn and Laufer, 2001; Keating, 2008; Laufer and Hulstijn, 2001).”

“One might consider that such released resources which come along with externalisations (Kirsh, 2010) could serve a deeper elaboration of the processed information (Sweller et al., 1998). In return, such a deeper elaboration could cause stronger memory representations (Craik & Lockhart, 1972).”
From Consequences of cognitive offloading: Boosting performance but diminishing memory (2021) · cites this paper as Craik & Lockhart, 1972
In the citing paper
“Learning is a dynamic process; it takes place during processing, as Hebb ~1949!, Craik and Lockhart ~1972!, Pienemann ~1998!, and O'Grady ~2003! have all reminded us from their different domains+”
From AT THE INTERFACE: DYNAMIC INTERACTIONS OF EXPLICIT AND IMPLICIT LANGUAGE KNOWLEDGE (2005) · cites this paper as Craik and Lockhart ~1972!

“It is fundamental for humans to learn knowledge by accumulating important information and abstracting high-level concepts [85]”
From A Survey on the Memory Mechanism of Large Language Model-based Agents (2025) · cites this paper as [85]
In the citing paper
“In their Levels of Processing theory, Craik and Lockhart (1972) proposed that what we think of as memory is actually the processing of information, including the perception of incoming information.”
From Mental Time Travel? A Neurocognitive Model of Event Simulation. (2020) · cites this paper as Craik and Lockhart (1972)
In the citing paper
“These recoding strategies may increase the depth of processing (Craik & Lockhart, 1972), permit the generation of multiple representations for each item (Paivio, 1990) and allow multiple items to be formed into single chunks (Cowan, Chen, & Rouder, 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
