b. elaborative rehearsal

c. serial position effect

Explanation:

Elaborative rehearsal involves thinking deeply about information, relating it to existing knowledge and experiences to encode it into long - term memory. Jerome focused on meaning and generated examples from his own experiences, which is characteristic of elaborative rehearsal. Contextual cues are environmental factors related to memory retrieval. Serial position effect is about better recall of first and last items in a list. Maintenance rehearsal is simple repetition, which Jerome did not do.

Answer:

B. elaborative rehearsal
