Added a section about visual imagery and encoding as well as a section on retreival practice. I also expanded the section introducing the depth of processing and types of encoding. |

==Depth of Processing==
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}}</ref> These levels of processing can be illustrated by maintenance and elaborate rehearsal.
