Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rehearsing words over and over again can lead to Maintenance Rehearsal, which is a shallow encoding method that is prone to rapid forgetting. On the other hand, Lisa and Moe try to create a meaningful association between the words, which leads to deeper processing and better memory retention. Therefore, Homer is likely to have the worst memory for the words.
