  2. Chunking (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunking_(psychology)

    In cognitive psychology, chunking is a process by which small individual pieces of a set of information are bound together to create a meaningful whole later on in memory. [1] The chunks, by which the information is grouped, are meant to improve short-term retention of the material, thus bypassing the limited capacity of working memory and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_(memory)

    Chunking is the process of grouping pieces of information together into “chunks”. [4] This allows for the brain to collect more information at a given time by reducing it to more-specific groups. [4] With the processes of chunking, the external environment is linked to the internal cognitive processes of the brain. [4]

  4. Encoding (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoding_(memory)

    An example of a mnemonic strategy that imposes organization is the peg-word system which associates the to-be-remembered items with a list of easily remembered items. Another example of a mnemonic device commonly used is the first letter of every word system or acronyms.

  5. The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magical_Number_Seven...

    Later research on short-term memory and working memory revealed that memory span is not a constant even when measured in a number of chunks. The number of chunks a human can recall immediately after presentation depends on the category of chunks used (e.g., span is around seven for digits, around six for letters, and around five for words), and even on features of the chunks within a category.

  6. Recall (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recall_(memory)

    Chunking is the process of breaking down numbers into smaller units to remember the information or data, this helps recall numbers and math facts. [64] An example of this chunking process is a telephone number; this is chunked with three digits, three digits, then four digits.

  7. Indirect tests of memory - Wikipedia

    The implicit association test is a testing method designed by Anthony Greenwald, Debbie McGhee and Jordan Schwartz, and was first introduced in 1998. [2] The IAT measures the associative strength between categories (e.g. Bug, Flower) and attributes (e.g. Bad, Good) by having participants rapidly classify stimuli that represent the categories and attributes of interest on a computer. [3]

  8. Memory rehearsal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_rehearsal

    An example of maintenance rehearsal would be repeating a phone number mentally, or aloud until the number is entered into the phone to make the call. The number is held in working memory long enough to make the call, but never transferred to long-term memory.
