The depth-of-processing approach __________.

A) assumes that the longer material is in working memory the more deep will be its memory traces
B) is primarily concerned with a type of memory called procedural
C) suggests that actively thinking about material leads to better memory than does maintenance rehearsal
D) holds that meaningless material produces greater depth of processing than does material that can easily be fitted into meaningful contexts

The depth-of-processing approach suggests that actively thinking about material leads to better memory than does maintenance rehearsal. It emphasizes the importance of elaborative rehearsal, which involves actively engaging with and creating associations and meanings around the material to be remembered. It is concerned with declarative memory, which includes both episodic and semantic memory, rather than procedural memory. It also holds that meaningful material produces greater depth of processing and better memory traces than does meaningless material.
