Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elaboration is the process of connecting new information to prior knowledge, and in this case, Fayd is doing just that by relating the themes and characters in the novel to his own life. This is a mnemonic strategy that can help him better remember and understand the material for his exam. Overlearning refers to continuing to study material that has already been mastered, practice is a general strategy for improving a skill, and chunking involves breaking down larger amounts of information into smaller, manageable pieces.
