What distinguishes maintenance rehearsal from elaborate rehearsal?

Maintenance rehearsal is known for semantic associations, while elaborate rehearsal is focused on phonological connections.

Elaborate rehearsal is focused on visual stimuli, while maintenance rehearsal is focused on auditory stimuli.

Maintenance rehearsal is more effective in the long term, while elaborate rehearsal is short-lived.

Maintenance rehearsal involves repeating stimuli without linking them, while elaborate rehearsal links stimuli in a meaningful way. (correct)
