Contrast rehearsal and encoding strategies with respect to their effectiveness for storing information in long-term memory.
What will be an ideal response?
The answers should indicate maintenance rehearsal when first encountering sensory data but deeper processing is then needed. Elaborative rehearsal allows interpretation using prior knowledge to make information more meaningful. Mnemonics lend meaningful structure to information that otherwise does not have its own memorable structure. Organizational strategies such as chunking or hierarchies can provide links to prior knowledge. Visual imagery is more easily remembered than words, though dual encoding is best.
