Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elaboration is the process of adding meaningful details to information to better understand and remember it. Aaron is actively engaging with the information by practicing and applying it to his own life, which is an example of elaboration. Maintenance rehearsal involves repetition without any attempt to add meaning or understanding, serial positioning refers to the tendency to remember the first and last items in a list, and reconstruction refers to memory errors that occur when remembering past events. None of these are applicable to Aaron's study strategy.
