Detailed explanation-1: -Chunking is a way to help us remember large pieces of information easily by grouping them into “chunks.” You can recall these chunks of data by retaining a single word or phrase. People widely use this technique to enhance their short-term memory.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chunking is the recoding of smaller units of information into larger, familiar units. Chunking is often assumed to help bypassing the limited capacity of working memory (WM).
Detailed explanation-3: -Chunking is a method used for dividing larger numbers that cannot be divided mentally. Chunking is repeated subtraction of the divisor and multiples of the divisor – in other words, working out how many groups of a number fit into another number.
Detailed explanation-4: -Short-term verbal memory is improved when words can be chunked into larger units. Miller (1956) suggested that the capacity of verbal short-term memory is determined by the number of chunks that can be stored in memory, rather than by the number of items or the amount of information.
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”.
