And one way to demonstrate this
-
was in a classic "depth of processing" experiment
-
which nicely illustrates the fact
-
that the more you structure something,
-
the deeper you think about it,
-
the better it gets entrenched in the long-term memory.
-
So, in this study what they did was they asked people
-
they told people
-
that there's going to be words flashed on a screen.
-
And all of the subjects saw the same strings of words.
-
There were forty-eight words.
-
They were not told to memorize the words.
