Researchers conducted an experiment in which twelve individuals were asked to remember a series of nouns. One group was asked to detect the letter "a" in a series of nouns. The other group was asked to label the various nouns as living or non-living. The authors concluded that the group which was told to allocate a living or non-living label to the various nouns had a much success in the recall rates than the group told to look for the letter "a," which held much less meaning in the minds of the individuals. Analysis of brain imagery also shows increased brain activity in the minds of those individuals asked to denote the nouns as living or non-living. This activity was located within the left inferior prefrontal cortex.
The article "Levels of processing: A view from functional brain imaging" later backs up this study. The author, Lars Nyberg, restates the earlier idea that semantic stimuli produce stronger and longer lasting memory traces. He believes that brain activity first experienced is later reactivated when that initial experience is recalled through...
Different levels of cognitive processing produce activity in various levels and locations in the brain. Evidence shows that deeper processing involves more activity in the left frontal lobes. Increased frontal lobe activity involved in the processing of deeper stimuli ensures that a stronger connection of the stimuli through a more durable and longer lasting memory trace.

This was accomplished by: breaking down into small teams and having everyone work directly with some of the top executives at the firm (i.e. Steve Jobs). This created an atmosphere that encouraged employees to discuss their ideas and the impact they are having on consumers. It is at this point, that Apple was able to integrate these different ideas into their performance evaluation procedures. (Stone 38 -- 40) (Snell
