Answer 1

b. elaborative rehearsal

Step-by-step explanation:

Elaborative rehearsal is a technique of memorizing and encoding information that involves thinking, analyzing and making associations between new data, instead of just trying to memorize it as it is by repeating it.

This technique is very useful for incorporating the information in long-term memory. By connecting it to already familiar info and developing association, a person attaches the newly received information to the old ones that already exist in the long term memory, while understanding it more in-depth at the same time.
