Abstract: The present study provided an examination of memory processes governing a reversal of the level of processing (LOP) effect shown with implicit memory tasks. In two experiments, participants performed an LOP study task, then a word-stem completion task. The shallow (perceptual) task required counting syllables and the deep (conceptual) task required rating words for pleasantness. Results showed in both experiments a reversal of the LOP effect (RLOP) for the implicit processing groups. The RLOP effect was limited to the condition where words presented at test differed from those presented at study. In Experiment 2, the reversal was eliminated when participants performed semantic tasks with enhanced perceptual processing at study. These results are in line with the encoding specificity principle and transfer appropriate processing theory in that responses using an implicit memory task are in part mediated by the similarity in processing demands during encoding and retrieval.
