摘要：AbstractIn this research the effects of handedness and depth of processing on the explicit and implicit memory was evaluated. An experimental research was carried out individually on 80 students using computerized measurement tools and Edinburgh Handedness Inventory. The data were analyzed through Variance Analysis Method. Results showed that the difference between examinees under different depths of processing is significant in explicit memory. Moreover, there was also a significant difference in explicit memory between the three groups. Mixed-handed and left-handed participants had better recall performance but there was no significant difference in implicit memory. Better performance of the mixed-handed in explicit memory recall test indicates that explicit memory function is dependent on the interrelation between the two hemispheres.
