Question

10 multiple choice 1 point which of the following strategies is most effective for improving long - term memory? rereading material repeatedly massed (cramming) practice active rehearsal and making material meaningful avoiding retrieval practice to prevent interference previous

Explanation:

• Rereading material repeatedly is passive and not very effective for long - term memory as it doesn't engage deeper cognitive processes.
• Massed (cramming) practice leads to short - term retention but is not good for long - term memory.
• Active rehearsal (such as self - testing, explaining to others) and making material meaningful (by relating it to prior knowledge, creating associations) helps in encoding information into long - term memory as it involves deeper processing.
• Avoiding retrieval practice is incorrect. Retrieval practice (such as testing) actually strengthens long - term memory.

Answer:

C. Active rehearsal and making material meaningful
