Beck ’s Cognitive Theory of Depression Features Underlying Dysfunctional Beliefs Beck ’s main argument was that depression was instituted by one ’s view of oneself‚ instead of one having a negative view of oneself due to depression. This has large social implications of how we as a group perceive each other and relate our dissatisfactions with one another.

Abstract: It has been suggested that the number of words recalled would increase if the levels of processing were deeper. ) According to levels of processing theory only elaborative rehearsal helps improve long term memory (Eysenck 1977). The study carried out investigates whether deeper levels of processing would aid the memory recall as it has been hypothesised; however the results obtained from this study clearly illustrate a positive correlation.
