The rehearsal section is unclear

[edit]

The passage, (parts bolded for emphasis, bolded text not found in original)

Three key words in rehearsal are Association, Location, and Imagination. Association is an important factor in rehearsal, as it is the part of elaborative rehearsal where people make connections with the items and things significant to them. This helps increase capacity of short-term memory as they are recalling items with the help of something meaningful to them. Location is another factor, as incorporating location into what they are trying to memorize may be another association to a significant location in particular, thus making the item much easier to recall. Finally, imagination is essentially the creativity of elaborative rehearsal. It combines creativity with the items to recall in such a way that makes them easiest to recall.

is very unclear. The imagination part is especially unclear. How does one "combine creativity...to recall...easiest"? Maybe a better description or an example would help?
