Counting was used in both conditions as a means to discourage participants from rehearsing information from the learning phase.
We expect that patients who have the opportunity to rehearse their information needs before the consultation will ask a greater number of questions and we will observe higher levels of involvement by the physician and a higher number of met information needs.
We expect that patients who have the opportunity to rehearse their information needs before the consultation will ask a greater number of questions which in turn will determine their greater involvement by the physician and a greater number of satisfied needs.
For example, children with mathematical disabilities have difficulties in rehearsing verbal information and in control processes attributed to the central executive [ 48].
The tasks used for measuring WM in the present study were selected based on the assumption that these tests require preschoolers to rehearse or manipulate information while either listening to the rest of the information presented in the test item or while waiting to respond.
This suggests that the ability to rehearse relevant spatial information was impaired by the interruption.
This suggests that it is the ability to rehearse task-relevant information, rather than solely task difficulty, that predicts the cost of interruptions.
However, Cades, Davis, Trafton, and Monk (2007) emphasize that it is the ability to rehearse goal-relevant information, rather than subjective task difficulty, which predicts the disruptiveness of an interruption.
In addition, testing may change participants' conscious encoding strategies (e.g., Wissman et al. 2011), leading participants to prioritize rehearsing or reviewing information that is related to previous test questions.
You think about the information or rehearse it in your mind in order to form a strong memory of it, and in order to connect it to other things that you remember. .
