Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: –Chunking is a procedure of breaking up reading material into manageable sections. Before reading a “chunk” students are given a statement of purpose, which guides them to look for something specific in the text. This process is repeated until students complete the passage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chunking helps students identify key words and ideas, develops their ability to paraphrase, and makes it easier for them to organize and synthesize information.

Detailed explanation-3: -The purpose of chunking is to maximize the utilization capacity of someone’s short-term memory. Because the capacity is between four and seven plus or minus two, chunking allows the individual to store more information in their short-term memory by assigning the information into groups.

Detailed explanation-5: -The APA Dictionary of Psychology defines “chunking” as “the process by which the mind divides large pieces of information into smaller units (chunks) that are easier to retain in short-term memory… one item in memory can stand for multiple other items”.
