Abstract
The experiment performed was a partial replication of an experiment done by Hyde and Jenkins (1973). In the experiment participants were to perform an orienting task while listening to an audio tape that presented a list of 28 unrelated words at a rate of one word every three seconds. There were two independent variables (IV) with two conditions each. The experiment was to determine whether deep or shallow processing through task orientation had any effect on the amount of words recalled from the list. The experiment also attempted to determine whether incidental or intentional learning would make a significant difference in word recall. To test this theory we used Psychology students, split up into four conditions. The results were recorded in all four conditions. Our findings indicated deep encoding was more effective in memory retention than shallow encoding, incidental or intentional learning resulted in similar memory retention, and that there was no interaction between Orienting Task and Type of Learning. We had three major hypothesis based on Craik and Lockhart's (1972) Levels of Processing theory. The first is that deep orienting task should yield significantly better memory than shallow. The second is that memory performance should be similar for incidental and intentional learning. The third hypothesis is that there should not be an interaction between Orienting Task and Type of Learning.

Word Recollection During Task Orientation With Varied Types of Learning
Everyday we experience millions of sensory stimulus' with very few retained in our Long Term Memory (LTM). What is it that keeps all of this knowledge from being transferred from perception into Short Term Memory (STM), or even LTM? This question was test by two different groups of experimenters almost simultaneously, without knowledge of each other's project. Craik and Lockhart (1972) performed an experiment with the Levels of...
