The idea
Rehearsal is the conscious repetition of information to keep it available in short-term memory.
In practice
Repeating a number silently between hearing and dialing keeps it from decaying.
Where people slip
Rehearsal maintains information without necessarily transferring it. Repetition alone encodes poorly.
