I would like to understand how my results fit within the levels of processing framework. However, I am only familiar with the original work that was completed in the 70s.
What sources (preferably review article(s)) might you recommend for obtaining a contemporary understanding of this phenomenon?
Thanks!
Brandon
Brandon,
Here is great review article that describes the progression of levels of processing.
Baddeley, A. (2012). Working memory: theories, models, and controversies. Annual review of psychology, 63, 1-29.
I don't know much of the contemporary applications of this model, but I'm personally interested in inhibitory control. The act of retrieving information can render subsequent related items less accessible, also refereed to a Retrieval Induced Forgetting. This is a popular topic now-a-days and has a nice Wikipedia page that might interest you.

This might be of interest as its quite a bit more recent than the 70s...

Hello, Brandon and others,
I have no expertise in the experimental psych literature, but we have a related question here at RG called "What are the effects of Facebook memes on the brain?" I found an article in EXP PSYCH journal talking about Facebook memes and how memory retrieval and storage is affected by repeated exposure to very partisan memes (posters with a few words.)
You can find my question. We would like to call upon those of you with some background in psychology to join this discussion.
As somebody whose training is in rhetoric, I can say that "junk meme trading' seems to lower the level of discourse on controversial topics.
I would really appreciate the participation of any psychologist on our question.
Thanks,
Gloria

> Abstract:
> Although a burgeoning literature has shown that practice effects and

> The present research explores how people exposed to attitudinally biased

> subsequent conversations with attitudinally similar and dissimilar
> others and, through these conversations, affect subsequent acts of
> remembering. The research establishes that the propagation of
> retrieval-induced forgetting and practice effects is transitive. It also
> determines when attitude influences propagation. These findings are
> discussed in the context of the formation of collective memories.

> a cascade of neural excitations that were not inherent in the original meme.
