question 3
repeating information that has entered our short - term memory accomplishes what two things?
a. aids in retrieval, improves self - esteem
b. holds it in long - term memory longer and helps transfer it to short - term memory
c. helps us stay focused, improves our organization skills
d. holds it in short - term memory longer and helps transfer to long - term memory

Explanation:

Repeating information in short - term memory (through processes like rehearsal) keeps it in short - term memory for a longer duration. Also, rehearsal is one of the main ways to transfer information from short - term memory to long - term memory.

• Option a: Improving self - esteem is not a direct function of repeating information in short - term memory.
• Option b: The direction of transfer is wrong (should be from short - term to long - term, not the other way around as stated in this option).
• Option c: Staying focused and improving organization skills are not the two main functions related to the role of repeating information in short - term memory for memory storage.

Answer:

D. holds it in short - term memory longer and helps transfer to long - term memory
