Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Encoding information from short-term to long-term memory is most efficient when it involves the forming of associations. This is because associations enable the brain to connect unrelated pieces of information, which is a crucial aspect of memory processing.  Repetition can help, but it's not always the most efficient way to encode information, and relaxation or performing the task subconsciously doesn't necessarily guarantee effective encoding.
