Question

Sean stopped outside his professor’s office to check on the answers to a quiz. When he began to write the answers down, his pen ran out of ink. He repeated the last four answers to himself while he rushed to his dorm room to write them down. This is best explained by the concept of ____
(A) maintenance rehearsal.
(B) elaborative rehearsal.
(C) whole rehearsal.
(D) partial rehearsal.
(E) chunking

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) maintenance rehearsal.  

Explanation:

Maintenance rehearsal refers to the process of deliberately repeating information over and over again. It involves practices based on repetition, usually without thought or making associations, so the information is stored in short-term memory. Therefore, Sean will write down the answers he has memorized, and he will not remember them afterwards.
