rehearsal

Examples of rehearsal in the following topics:

• Other Steps

  • The phonological loop consists of two parts - short-term storage and articulatory rehearsal.
  • Information a person hears enters the short-term store (lasting 1-2 seconds) and transforms into a code that is replayed by the articulatory rehearsal component (hence the loop) until all the sounds are heard and made sense of.
  • Diagram of the phonological loop process, which consists of two parts: short-term storage and articulacy rehearsal.

• Short-Term and Working Memory

  • How long this storage lasts depends on conscious effort from the individual; without rehearsal or active maintenance, the duration of short-term memory is believed to be on the order of seconds.
  • Rehearsal is the process in which information is kept in short-term memory by mentally repeating it.
  • Distractions from rehearsal often cause disturbances in short-term memory retention.
  • The phonological store can only store sounds for about two seconds without rehearsal, but the auditory loop can "replay them" internally to keep them in working memory.

• Introduction to the Process and Types of Memory

  • However, items can be moved from short-term memory to long-term memory via processes like rehearsal.
  • An example of rehearsal is when someone gives you a phone number verbally and you say it to yourself repeatedly until you can write it down.
  • If someone interrupts your rehearsal by asking a question, you can easily forget the number, since it is only being held in your short-term memory.

• Introduction to Memory Storage

  • Thereby, new content gradually pushes out older content, unless the older content is actively protected against interference by rehearsal or by directing attention to it.
  • It continuously decays, so in the absence of rehearsal (keeping information in short-term memory by mentally repeating it) it can be forgotten.
  • Items stored in short-term memory move to long-term memory through rehearsal, processing, and use.

• Detail on Types of Long-Term Memory

  • Rehearsing for a dancing or musical performance would be another example of implicit memory.

• Types of Forgetting

  • Rehearsal, or mentally going over a memory, can slow this process.
  • A memory is most easily recalled when it is brand new, and without rehearsal, begins to be forgotten.

• Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia)

  • Safety behaviors can include avoiding eye contact, rehearsing sentences before speaking, talking only briefly, and not talking about oneself (Alden & Bieling, 1998).

• Levels of Processing

  • This deeper level of processing involves elaborative rehearsal, which is a more meaningful way to analyze information.

• The Nature and Meaning of Dreams

  • This theory suggests that dreams serve the purpose of allowing for the rehearsal of threatening scenarios in order to better prepare an individual for real-life threats.

• Memory Retrieval: Recognition and Recall

  • The theory behind this is that the participant has had more time to rehearse these words in working memory.
