Janelle practices her spelling words several times until she remembers how to spell each word. What memory strategy has she just used?


A. Restoration

B. Rehearsal

C. Retrieval

D. Organization

E. none of these

My answer is B.

A better answer is repetition. And repetition spaced over time (ie: flash cards) is a proven way to learn words and concepts.

I agree.

Your answer, B. Rehearsal, is correct. Janelle has used the memory strategy of rehearsal. Rehearsal involves repeating information multiple times in order to remember it. In this case, Janelle practiced her spelling words several times until she remembered how to spell each word. By repeating the words over and over, she was able to reinforce the information in her memory.
