Elaborative rehearsal is a type of memory rehearsal that is useful in transferring information into long-term memory.

Maintenance rehearsal is viewed in educational psychology as an ineffective way of getting information to the long-term memory. Another type of rehearsal is elaborative rehearsal.

In a practical sense, actively relating new information back to previous knowledge expands and intensifies the web of memories and ...

They argued that rehearsal that consists simply of repeating previous analyses (maintenance rehearsal) doesn't enhance long-term memory.
