Hello
What is the difference between elaborative rehearsal and maintenance rehearsal?]
Thanks
A good question! Maintenance rehearsal is verbal rehearsal – when you repeat something over and over again to keep it in your short-term memory. Atkinson and Shiffrin initially suggested this kind of rehearsal was important for STM and also for transferring information to LTM. The levels of processing concept led them to revise their theory because research showed that long-term memories were more likely to be created by processing rather than simple verbal repetition. Elaborative rehearsal refers to doing something more complex with the information such as thinking about its meaning or rephrasing it.
