Elaborative Rehearsal: Elaborative rehearsal involves connecting new information with existing knowledge in order to enhance understanding and retention.
Maintenance Rehearsal: Maintenance rehearsal refers to simply repeating or reviewing information without actively engaging with its meaning, which leads to shallow encoding and less effective retention.
Spacing Effect: The spacing effect suggests that learning is more effective when studying or rehearsing material over multiple shorter sessions spaced out over time, rather than cramming all at once.
