🗑
Maintenance Rehearsal   repetition that keeps information in STM about 20 seconds.  
🗑
Elaborative Rehearsal   repetition that creates associations between the new memory and existing memories stored in LTM  
🗑
Long-term memory (LTM)   relatively permanent storage with unlimited capacity, LTM is subdivided into explicit (declarative) memory and implicit memory. Can result from elaborative rehearsal
