Answer
The answer is **d. Extends the duration of information in short-term memory and also assists its transfer into long-term memory.**Rehearsal is the cognitive process of repeatedly reviewing information mentally to maintain it in short-term memory and facilitate its transfer to long-term memory. Without rehearsal, information in short-term memory decays rapidly. The more something is rehearsed, the greater the chance it will be transferred to long-term memory.
