Elaborative processing involves linking new information to existing knowledge and experiences, which is exactly what the reader is doing by asking "why" questions and relating the information to their own experiences. This type of processing leads to better retention and recall of information. Chunking/recoding involves breaking information into smaller, more manageable pieces, maintenance rehearsal involves simply repeating information over and over again to retain it, and redintegration involves filling in missing information based on what we already know.
