Memory for a word will tend to be better if the word is used in a complex sentence (like "the bicycle was blue, with high handlebars and a racing seat") rather than a simple sentence (like "he rode the bicycle"). This probably occurs because the complex sentence:

a) Causes more rehearsal.

b) Takes longer to process.

c) Creates more connections.

d) Is more interesting.
