Explanation:

Elaborative rehearsal: In psychology, the term elaborative rehearsal is defined as a phenomenon that is responsible for encoding particular information into an individual's long-term memory with the help of brain-processing that information in depth.

It helps an individual to make an association or connection between a piece of information that he or she is trying to learn and the formerly present information in his or her memory.

It encompasses deep semantic processing of a piece of information yet to be remembered that leads to the development of durable memories and it is considered as more effective as compared to maintenance rehearsal.
