MAINTENANCE REHEARSAL
A STIMULUS FOR REMEMBERING, THE SOUND OF THE WORD OR PHRASE
RETRIEVAL CUE
WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO REMEMBER A PIECE OF INFORMATION BY THINKING OF WHAT IT MEANS AND HOW IT FITS IN WITH WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW, THEY ARE GIVING THEMSELVES _ FOR MEANING IN ADDITION TO THE SOUND

MEMORY PROBLEM THAT GETS MORE COMMON AS WE GET OLDER
