Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fethia was using maintenance rehearsal, which involves repeating information over and over to maintain it in short-term memory. She was not actively trying to connect the information to prior knowledge or engage in deeper processing, which are features of elaborative rehearsal. Imagery rehearsal involves creating vivid mental images to help remember information, which Fethia did not mention doing. Repetitive rehearsal is another term for maintenance rehearsal, so A could be a possible distractor but D is a more specific and accurate answer.
