Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maintenance rehearsal is a strategy for holding information in short-term memory, as it involves the repetitive rehearsal of information to keep it active in working memory. It does not necessarily help with encoding information for long-term storage or organizing information in long-term memory. It also is not typically used for holding information in sensory memory, which is very brief and usually automatically processed.
