(Broken Link Removed)

The concept being illustrated here is "maintenance rehearsal." Maintenance rehearsal is a technique in which information is repeated over and over again in order to maintain it in memory. It involves rote repetition without any deep processing or elaboration of the information. In this case, Melanie is simply repeating the psychology terms and their definitions without really engaging with them on a deeper level.
