Detailed explanation-1: -Elaborative encoding is a type of mnemonic in which new information is made memorable in order to be able to recall it more easily. It is making information more elaborate and complex in order to be more likely to remember it in the future.
Detailed explanation-2: -Elaborative encoding is more effected because the process of elaboration ties the new info to older, well-known info. This older info provides many good retrieval cues for the new info and helps provide more retrieval cues and better ones than memorizing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Good encoding techniques include relating new information to what one already knows, forming mental images, and creating associations among information that needs to be remembered. The key to good retrieval is developing effective cues that will lead the rememberer back to the encoded information.
Detailed explanation-4: -Words that had been encoded semantically were better remembered than those encoded visually or acoustically. Semantic encoding involves a deeper level of processing than shallower visual or acoustic encoding.
