Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rote rehearsal is the repetition of information in order to store it in memory.

Elaborative rehearsal and deep processing involve making connections or associations with other information, which is not necessarily required for storing this type of material. Cognitive schemas are mental frameworks used for organizing and interpreting information, but they do not directly involve the storage of individual pieces of information.
