    1.       Which is a more effective study method:

    • Maintenance method

    • Elaborate rehearsal method

    Correct Answer
    A. Elaborate rehearsal method
    Explanation
    The elaborate rehearsal method is a more effective study method compared to the maintenance method. Elaborate rehearsal involves actively engaging with the material by making connections, organizing information, and relating it to prior knowledge. This method promotes deeper understanding and encoding of the information into long-term memory. On the other hand, maintenance rehearsal simply involves repeating the information without any meaningful processing, which leads to shallow encoding and limited retention. Therefore, the elaborate rehearsal method is preferred for effective studying and better retention of information.

    Does maintenance rehearsal allow information to be encoded properly and efficiently?

    • No

    • Yes

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    Maintenance rehearsal does not allow information to be encoded properly and efficiently. Maintenance rehearsal refers to the repetition of information without any meaningful processing or analysis. It involves simply repeating the information over and over again without actively engaging with it. This type of rehearsal is shallow and does not involve deep processing, which is necessary for effective encoding and long-term retention of information. Therefore, maintenance rehearsal is not an effective strategy for encoding information properly and efficiently.

    1.       The Maintenance memory method is:

    • Repeating information over and over again to yourself

    • Repeating it once and transferring the data to LTM

    • Keeping the data in STM

    Correct Answer
    A. Repeating information over and over again to yourself
    Explanation
    The maintenance memory method involves repeating information over and over again to oneself. This repetition helps to keep the information active in the short-term memory (STM) and prevents it from being forgotten. By continuously rehearsing the information, it increases the chances of transferring it to the long-term memory (LTM) for better retention and recall in the future.

    1.       What is self reference? 

    • Doing experiments on yourself to remember things

    • When writing the essay for the test, talking about yourself.

    • Thinking about yourself when studying

    • Relating the topics you are learning to yourself

    Correct Answer
    A. Relating the topics you are learning to yourself
    Explanation
    Self reference refers to the act of relating the topics that one is learning to oneself. It involves making connections between the subject matter being studied and one's own personal experiences, beliefs, or perspectives. By doing so, individuals can better understand and remember the information, as they are able to relate it to their own lives and make it more meaningful. This approach helps to create a deeper level of engagement with the material and promotes a more personalized and contextualized learning experience.
