Rehearsal

Rehearsal and repetition of information helps to ensure encoding and enhanced memory. 

How does it work

It is the process whereby material is presented over and over until it is encoded.  It can occur in any sensory modality, for example:

• verbal - repeating information over and over either aloud or silently
• motor - drawing or writing information or performing a sequence of actions repeatedly
• visual - looking at information over and over. 

The more sensory modalities used in the repetition of information, the more likely that information will be remembered.
