# Elaborative verbal rehearsal

A reading comprehension strategy in which readers summarize a text and elaborate it by synthesizing, giving examples, and drawing personal connections. Effectively a highly specialized type of [[zCQYRYZTQRmrR4bFGCzCMkR:::Self-explanation]]. The literature using this term seems to mostly dead-end in preference to Chi’s term, which also encompasses a wider range of behaviors.

Presumably this operationalizes some combination of:

*   [[z9Uq4yzBT1QaBU8twwyvm7P:::Elaborative encoding]]
*   [[z26C6ing3sqiZMHRVFuT6xn:::Generation effect]]
*   [[zF9BD4B7W9MaknXXn3Uhvox:::Self-explanation effect]]
