To help students learn new psychology terms, Professor Williams encourages them to think deeply about the meaning of the words, to provide examples of each term, and to use each one in a sentence. Professor Williams is using which model of memory?

C
Information-processing
D
Semantic network

Identify the key components of the problem: Professor Williams is encouraging students to think deeply about the meaning of words, provide examples, and use them in sentences.
Understand the different models of memory mentioned: Parallel distributed processing, Levels-of-processing, Information-processing, and Semantic network.
Analyze the Levels-of-processing model: This model suggests that memory retention is related to the depth of processing. Deeper, more meaningful processing leads to better memory retention.
Relate the problem to the Levels-of-processing model: Professor Williams' approach involves deep processing by encouraging students to think about meanings, provide examples, and use terms in sentences, which aligns with the idea of deeper processing leading to better memory.
Conclude that the Levels-of-processing model is the most appropriate model being used by Professor Williams, as it emphasizes deep, meaningful engagement with the material.
