In an experiment, people were asked to memorize words in a way that focused either on meaning (deep-processing condition) or sound (shallow-processing condition). Then they were asked to recall the words, cued with hints that either matched their learning (e.g., cued with sound hints if sound was focused on during learning) or did not match (e.g., cued with meaning hints if they focused on sound during learning) . The results showed that recall was best for participants in the:

Deep processing is described as one of the different extreme ends of the "level of processing" spectrum related to mental recall via analysis of the language that is being used. According to the researcher, deep processing requires or needs the utilization of "semantic processing" i.e, how different words tend to work together in order to create or develop meaning that ultimately creates one of the strongest memory traces.

According to the question, the results will show that recall was appear best for the participants in the deep processing scenario and under matched cue condition.
