True
Elaborative rehearsal refers to the process of remembering new information by linking it to previously learned information and making it meaningful in some way.
Using the mnemonic device “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles” to recall the planets of the solar
system (Mars, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) by taking the
first letter of each planet is an example of elaborative rehearsal. By linking the list of planets to other previously known
information, one is more likely to remember the list of planets.
Similarly, associating a newly met person's features with a previously known person's (your best friend's) features is an instance of elaborative rehearsal.
