Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eunice is using maintenance rehearsal, which involves repeating information over and over to keep it in working memory. This is different from chunking, which involves organizing information into meaningful units, or retrieval from working memory, which involves recalling information previously stored in memory. Storage in sensory register refers to the initial brief storage of sensory information before it is processed further.
