Predicting the relative memorability of ideas within prose passages has been based on several complex types of analysis. One such analysis is examined here. It is suggested that a factor underlying the complex analysis is amount of elaboration. The results of two experiments support this interpretation, and it is argued that elaboration is a parsimonious and theoretically meaningful explanation, at a general level.
