Answer:Elaborative rehearsal

Explanation:

Elaborative rehearsal this is when we store things in our memory by thinking about those things rather than trying to repeat them over and over in order to keep them in the memory. For example let us say you want to know and remember the word "encyclopedia" the first step would be to look it up in a dictionary after finding the definition you can then find out what it is used for, you can even look up the examples of encyclopedia, then you can try to relate it to your preexisting information. Going

through this process more than once will be a rehearsal that will lead to information stored into your memory.

This is known as Elaborative rehearsal.
