Determine which of the following options is the best example of elaborative rehearsal in memory. Jennifer has always liked baseball and regularly keeps up with the players' stats. Her knowledge of this information helped her considerably when she took a statistics class because she could use knowledge about baseball to better understand and remember what she needed to know for the exam. Jerry sees an attractive waitress at a restaurant and thinks to himself that he should ask her out on a date. He's not sure if she'll be interested, but she is so good-looking that he decides to take a chance. Tonya repeats her new friend's phone number over and over until she can get her cell phone out of her backpack and enter her friend into her contacts. She almost forgets the numbers when another friend walks up and starts talking to her. George is learning how to replace the muffler in his car. He bought a repair and maintenance book and carefully reads each step before starting. He then talks himself through the step by repeating what he had just read out loud as he does it.

You may have heard that spreading out your studying over several sessions (distributed studying) helps you retain the information longer than if you cram your studying into a single session. How could you design an experiment to test this claim? What would the variables be? Would each be manipulated or measured? Would your experiment fulfill the three criteria for supporting a causal statement? What limitations might it have?
