Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The memory improvement technique described in the question is referred to as coding, which involves creating an acronym or some other form of mnemonic device to help remember a list of items. Rehearsal involves repeating information over and over again to commit it to memory, while imaging involves creating a vivid mental image to aid in memory retention. Performing typically refers to actually carrying out a physical or mental task, rather than improving memory retention.
