After they heard the number, subjects began counting backward by threes (so they couldn't repeat the syllable). After only 18 seconds of delay, their memory scores fell to zero. After 18 seconds without rehearsal, the short-term memories were gone forever Keep this in mind when you get only one chance to hear important information. For example, if you are introduced to someone and the name slips out of STM, it's gone forever. Of course, you could try saying something like, I'm curious, how do you spell your name? Unfortunately, the response is often an icy reply like, B-O-B S-M-I-T-H, it's really not too difficult. To avoid embarrassment, pay careful attention to the name, repeat it to yourself several times, and try to use it in the next sentence or two-before you lose it. Elaborative rehearsal, which makes information more meaningful, is a far better way to form lasting memories. Elaborative rehearsal links new information to memories that are already in LTM. When you are studying, you will remember more if you elaborate, extend, and think about information. As you read, try to frequently ask yourself why questions, such as, Why would that be true? Also, try to relate new ideas to your own experiences and knowledge. Elaborative rehearsal is
 
  a. effective only for simple material.
  b. another name for maintenance rehearsal.
  c. more effective than maintenance rehearsal.
  d. less effective than maintenance rehearsal.

Also, try to relate new ideas to your own experiences and knowledge. Why were people in an experiment with meaningless syllables asked to count backward?
 
  a. They would be able to use rehearsal strategies.
  b. They would be able to concentrate better.
  c. They would not be able to repeat the nonsense syllable
  d. They would have better long-term memory.
