A-Level PE – Memory: Levels of Processing Model
Skill Acquisition | Lesson 2 of 3 on memory
Lesson Overview

This A-Level Physical Education lesson explores the Levels of Processing Model (Craik & Lockhart) and how the depth at which information is processed affects memory, learning, and performance in physical activity and sport.

The lesson builds directly on the Multi-Store Memory Model, moving students beyond structure and repetition towards understanding, meaning, and application — all essential for exam success.

What’s Included

1 fully editable PowerPoint lesson

Matching student notes (Word) that follow the PowerPoint exactly

Clear explanations of shallow and deep processing

Structured paired and group tasks

Retrieval practice from Lesson 1

OCR-style exam question (10 marks)

Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to:

Describe the Levels of Processing model

Explain structural, phonetic and semantic processing

Understand the concept of a memory trace

Apply the model to learning and performing physical activity skills

Answer extended exam questions using practical examples
