Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Repeating the key term and definition multiple times in a row is a form of maintenance rehearsal, not elaborative rehearsal. Elaborative rehearsal involves making connections and associations with other information to create a deeper understanding and better retention of the material. A, B, and C are all effective ways to engage in elaborative rehearsal.
