Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elaborative encoding involves actively engaging with new information and connecting it to existing knowledge. This is necessary to learn college-level information, as simply repeating or maintaining information in short-term memory (maintenance rehearsal) is not sufficient. Proactive encoding involves preparing to learn new information, and eidetic imagery (also known as photographic memory) is a rare ability that allows individuals to recall sensory information with great accuracy.
