Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Repeating the phone number to oneself is known as rehearsal, which is a memory strategy used to improve recall. This allows the information to be transferred from short-term memory to long-term memory. Displacement deals with forgetting old information due to the replacement of new information. Chunking refers to grouping information together to make it easier to remember. Practical recall is not a recognized term in psychology.
