| Definitions |
Incidental learning procedure by directing the subject to process a particular aspect of stimuli (semantic, perceptual, etc.) to highlight the role of levels of processing in memory performance. For example, to guide a subject towards the perceptual aspect, he/she is asked to judge whether the words are written in capital letters; to focus him/her towards the semantic aspect, he/she has to decide if stimuli belong to a semantic category (for example, the animal category).
