===Intention to Learn===
 
Studies have shown that the intention to learn has no direct effect on memory encoding. Instead, memory encoding is dependent on how deeply each item is encoded, which could be affected by intention to learn, but not exclusively. That is, intention to learn can lead to more effective learning strategies, and consequently, better memory encoding, but if youone learnlearns something incidentally (i.e. without intention to learn), but still processprocesses and learnlearns the information effectively, it will get encoded just as well as something learntlearned with intention.<ref>Hyde, Thomas S. & Jenkins, James J.

The effects of elaborative rehearsal or deep processing can be attributed to the number of connections made while encoding that increase the number of pathways available for retrieval.<ref>Craik, F.
