Re repetition and LTM. Early Verbal learning experiments probably originated with Ebbinghaus' paired associated tasks with nonsense syllables.Now from what I can recall later dudes like Tulving began looking at stimulus variables, response variables.Now there were all types of tasks in the verbal learning paradigm: paired associate,serial learning and one called serial anticipation learning(which I always thought to be interesting). Whether it was called repetition or maintenace rehearsal,this process facilitated entry into LTM.
