Look at the four stars that indicate where this sentence can be added to the passage. Where would the sentence fit best?

**For example, a reader engages in elaborate rehearsal when he brings prior knowledge of a subject to a text.**

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • 1 When a pen and paper are not handy, people often attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the number instantly.*

  • 2  Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long term memory.*

  • 3 A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal".*

  • 4 This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories.*
