Elaborative rehearsal involves making meaningful associations with new information and existing knowledge, which facilitates the transfer of information from short-term to long-term memory. Rote rehearsal (A) involves repetition without making connections, categorizing (C) involves organizing information into groups, and chunking (D) involves breaking information into smaller units to aid in memory. While categorizing and chunking may aid in memorization, neither are specifically focused on transferring information from short-term to long-term memory.
