When sammy had to learn the names of all the planets, as well as their relative sizes, he made up sentences to help him remember. for example, "eartha ate the mars candy bar" helped him remember that earth is larger than mars. sammy was using a memory strategy called: rehearsal. elaboration. selective attention. organization?

Answer: the right answer is 'Elaboration'

Step-by-step explanation: Elaboration is a technique used to remember important information. Students, like Sammy, use this method to make associations and remember everything easily.

When you use elaboration, you expand the old information (earth is larger than mars) with new information (the song). This way, this new information can help you to remember the old information.

With elaboration, you assign meaningful information (eartha ate the mars candy bars) that is easy to remember. With that simple process of association, you will be able to recall what was the old non-meaningful information.
