repetition

Examples of repetition in the following topics:

• Repetition and Parallelism

  • Repetition and parallelism can add clarity and dramatic punch to your speech.
  • When you repeat similar ideas or themes in your speech, you are using repetition as a stylistic choice.
  • Repetition also helps emphasize your point to your directly to your audience.
  • Parallelism works the same way but without rote repetition of words or ideas and instead constructs them from similar examples.
  • Repetition is fine in small doses, but you don't want to sound like a broken record.

• Avoiding Repetitiveness

  • Although repeating key terms and phrases brings continuity to your writing, you must avoid being overly repetitive.
  • Too much repetition is boring.
  • One way to avoid appearing overly repetitive is to consult a thesaurus and use synonyms.
  • While repetition of key terms and phrases can provide continuity and orient your reader, be sure to also include some variability within this repetition to avoid being overly repetitive or boring.
  • Repeat key terms and phrases for continuity in your writing, but avoid becoming repetitive

• Transposition Scorereading Assignment

  • The pause between repetitions should be silent, to allow you to think through how you did.
  • Videotape yourself playing BH 8 times, counting off before each repetition and pausing after each repetition.
  • If you play it 100% correctly, you can stop after 5 repetitions (Congratulations!
  • Do it until there are 3 consecutive correct repetitions.
  • Count 1 measure before starting and pause between each repetition.

• Process decisions

  • Repetitive processes are used to produce identical or very similar products in high volumes.
  • Efficiency is a key goal in repetitive process environments.
  • A paper mill is a good example of a repetitive process.
  • The two main differences between the intermittent and repetitive processes are product variety and product volume.
  • A compromise solution is the cellular process layout that captures the advantages of both intermittent and repetitive processes.

• Permutations of Nondistinguishable Objects

  • Repetition of some elements complicates the calculation of permutations, because it allows for there to be multiple ways in which a specific order of elements can be arranged.
  • Where $n$ is the total number of terms in a sequence, and $n_1$, $n_2$, and $n_3$ represent the number of repetitions of different elements.
  • To understand why we would divide by the number of repetitions, consider that 2 elements can be arranged in a total of $2!
  • These include many repetitions: 0 is seen three times, 4 and 8 each are observed twice, and there are five instances of the number 7.

• Probability

  • Even though the outcomes of a few repetitions are uncertain, there is a regular pattern of outcomes when there are many repetitions.

• Improve Listener Engagement, Comprehension, and Memory

  • Listener comprehension can be greatly improved through repetition, as it allows the audience to mentally rehearse and process information a second time, both visually and audibly.
  • This is accomplished through the repetition of the information presented to the audience member.

• Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • Autism spectrum disorder is a neuro-developmental disorder characterized by impaired social communication and restricted or repetitive behaviors.
  • These disorders are characterized by social deficits and communication difficulties, repetitive behaviors and interests, sensory issues, and in some cases, cognitive delays.
  • Stereotypy—repetitive movement, such as hand flapping, head rolling, or body rocking.

• Form is the Basic Structure

  • It is easy to recognize and grasp the form of some things, because they are small and simple, like a grain of salt, or repetitive, like a wall made of bricks of the same size.
  • Most listeners will quickly grasp the form of a short and simple piece, or of one built from many short repetitions.

• Back Injuries and Heavy Lifting

  • Repetitive lifting, bending, and twisting motions of the torso affect both the degree of severity and frequency of low-back pain.
  • The imbalanced muscles cause people to continue to perform these repetitive actions.
