repeating terminology over and over again for your biology quiz.

Explanation:

• Question 7: Long - term memory has an essentially unlimited capacity. Information can be stored there for a very long time.
• Question 8: Neurobics are activities that stimulate the brain and improve cognitive function. Encoding is the process of getting information into memory. Mnemonics are memory aids. Consolidation is the process of stabilizing a memory trace after its initial acquisition.
• Question 9: Repeating terminology over and over again for a quiz is more about rote learning (a form of rehearsal) rather than the kind of novel, brain - stimulating activity that neurobics are. Neurobics involve doing things in a new or different way to engage the brain.

Answer:

• Question 7: B. False
• Question 8: A. Neurobics
• Question 9: E. Repeating terminology over and over again for your biology quiz
