Semantic Encoding: Semantic encoding is the process of encoding sensory input (like words) by attaching meaning to it. It's like giving each word a specific flavor or taste so that it becomes more memorable.
Deep Processing: Deep processing involves thinking about the meaning, context, and connections of information. It's like digging deep into the soil to discover hidden treasures rather than just skimming the surface.
Self-Reference Effect: The self-reference effect is the tendency to remember information better when we can relate it to ourselves. It's like attaching a personal label or tag to each piece of information, making it more meaningful and memorable.
