Repetition of key subject words

When a word (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) or a variation of that word are repeated in a text, it contributes to the text's overall cohesion.

For example:
In the model paragraph, repetition was one technique used to reference or create a link within the text to the key subject of the text.

Information is received from the environment by a range of sensory registers that reside in sensory memory. The sensory receptors are modality specific: a register exists for each sensory modality such as vision, auditory and olfactory. These have the ability to transform stimuli from the environment into physiological representations, which can be understood and retained in the memory system. They therefore have a key role to play in human cognitive processing. Sensory registers also play a role in the larger system of memory.

Here are some other examples of repetition of a key idea to create consistency throughout the text:

The accountant is facing a difficult situation. He is having difficulty balancing the company's budget.

While the text appears valid for the current context, the personal and emotive language used throughout the text, although persuasive, make it inappropriate for use in an academic context.

BEWARE of overusing repetition
