Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elaborative rehearsal involves actively connecting new information with pre-existing knowledge or memories, which helps to consolidate and retain the new information in long-term memory. Automatic encoding is the process of automatically storing information in memory without conscious effort or rehearsal, typically due to its novelty or personal relevance. Maintenance rehearsal refers to the process of repeating information to oneself without actively engaging with it in order to maintain it in short-term memory. Sensory encoding refers to the process of converting sensory input (e.g. visual or auditory) into a form that can be processed and stored in memory.
