Drag and drop the correct terms into their place in this diagram about memory.

Match the memory technique to the correct description.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Maintenance Rehearsal		breaking information into smaller parts to make it easier to remember
Chunking		intentionally making connections between new and old information while reviewing to create deeper encoding
Spacing Review		repeating the information over and over to keep it in short-term memory longer (like repeating a phone number until you dial it)
Acronym		Using the first letter of a list of items to create one word to help keep information in short-term memory
Elaborate Rehearsal		creating mental images of things in a list or steps in a procedure to help encode information into long-term
Visualization		Reviewing material in shorter but more frequent bursts (like 10 minutes each night) in order to improve long-term memory
