Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maintenance rehearsal is the process of repeating information over and over again in order to maintain it in short-term memory. This is exactly what Geoff is doing as he tries to remember his shopping list. Acoustic rehearsal involves actively manipulating information in working memory through mental "sounding" of the information. Elaborative rehearsal involves making connections between new information and existing knowledge in long-term memory. Linkage rehearsal involves connecting new information to a visual image or other sensory experience. None of these processes accurately describe Geoff's behavior.
