Abstract
The objective of the experiment was to explore the effects of level of processing (LPO) and word pair types on forming memory for new associations using process dissociation procedure and perceptual identification task. The results showed that only under elaborative encoding condition could subjects form priming for new associations (PNA). On the other hand, concrete pairs could be formed PNA even under shallow encoding, making dissociation between implicit and explicit memory. It suggested that there was interaction between encoding and unitization. When the degree of unitization was not tight, semantic encoding was one of the conditions to form PNA. Otherwise deep processing was not necessary. It was not only PRS that contributed to forming memory for new associations, but also other memory systems.
