Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maintenance rehearsal involves repeating information over and over again, which keeps it in short-term memory. However, this type of rehearsal does not involve deeper processing, and therefore does not transfer the information into long-term memory as effectively as elaborative processing. Iconic rehearsal refers to the processing of visual information, and chunking involves grouping information together to make it easier to remember.
