... duration, capacity, forgetting mechanisms and the effects of brain damage, as Eysenck and Keane (1995) point out, the model is over-simplified particularly in the view of the memory stores being unitary and the over emphasis on the role of rehearsal in the transfer of information from short to long term memory. The approach has also been criticised for its concentration on the structure of memory with a concomitant lack of attention to the processes involved (Eysenck and Keane, 1995). In contrast to the above Craik and Lockhart (1972, cited in Eysenck and Keane, 1995) focused on the processes involved in long term memory, an approach known as 'levels of processing'. According to this framework the depth (or level) of processing conducted on material determines the strength of the memory trace laid down in long term memory which will in turn determine subsequent recall ability. It is not the time spent processing ...
