Different levels of processing influence how well information is remembered. This idea was first introduced by Craik and Lockhart (1972). They claimed that the level of processing information was dependent upon the depth at which the information was being processed; mainly, shallow processing and deep processing. According to Craik and Lockhart, the encoding of sensory information would be considered shallow processing, as it is highly automatic and requires very little focus. Deeper level processing requires more attention being given to the stimulus and engages more cognitive systems to encode the information. An exception to deep processing is if the individual has been exposed to the stimulus frequently and it has become common in the individual’s life, such as the person’s name.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lockhart|first=Robert|date=1990|title=Levels of Processing: A Retrospective Commentary on a Framework for Memory Research|url=http://www.psychologyib.com/uploads/1/1/7/5/11758934/_ib_psychology_-_craik_and_lockhart_1972.pdf|journal=Canadian Journal of Psychology|volume=44|pages=88|doi=10.1037/h0084237}}</ref> These levels of processing can be illustrated by maintenance and elaborate rehearsal.
===Maintenance
''Maintenance rehearsal'' is a shallow form of processing information which involves focusing on an object without thought to its meaning or its association with other objects. For example, the repetition of a series of numbers is a form of maintenance rehearsal. In contrast, ''elaborative or relational rehearsal'' is a process in which you relate new material to information already stored in Long-term memory. It's a deep form of processing information and involves thought of the object's meaning as well as making connections between the object, past experiences and the other objects of focus. Using the example of numbers, one might associate them with dates that are personally significant such as your parents' birthdays (past experiences) or perhaps you might see a pattern in the numbers that helps you to remember them.<ref name="1973 craik">Craik, F.
