  2. Chunking (psychology) - Wikipedia

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

    A modality effect is present in chunking. That is, the mechanism used to convey the list of items to the individual affects how much "chunking" occurs. Experimentally, it has been found that auditory presentation results in a larger amount of grouping in the responses of individuals than visual presentation does. Previous literature, such as George Miller's The Magical Number Seven, Plus or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_and_Retention_in...

    When we learn something new, our brain creates new neural pathways. Therefore, repetition when engaging in learning is important for retaining this information in long-term memory stores. [14] Chunking has also proved to be a useful strategy for retaining information. [15] Chunking is the process of grouping together individual items of similarity.

  4. Encoding (memory) - Wikipedia

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

    Chunking is a memory strategy used to maximize the amount of information stored in short term memory in order to combine it into small, meaningful sections. By organizing objects into meaningful sections, these sections are then remembered as a unit rather than separate objects.

    The architecture takes into low-level aspects of cognition such as reference perception, long and short-term memory stores, and methodology of problem-solving [1] and high-level aspects such as the use of strategies. [2] Learning, which is essential in the architecture, is modelled as the development of a network of nodes which are connected in ...

  6. 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.

  7. Recall (memory) - Wikipedia

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

    By using the strategies the information becomes related to each other and the information sticks. [64] Another type of device people use to help their recall memory become efficient is chunking. 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]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_reading

    Skimming is a process of speed reading that involves visually searching the sentences of a page for clues to the main idea or when reading an essay, it can mean reading the beginning and ending for summary information, then optionally the first sentence of each paragraph to quickly determine whether to seek still more detail, as determined by the questions or purpose of the reading.

    Knuckle mnemonic for the number of days in each month of the Gregorian calendar.Each knuckle represents a 31-day month. A mnemonic device (/ n ə ˈ m ɒ n ɪ k / nə-MON-ik) [1] or memory device is any learning technique that aids information retention or retrieval in the human memory, often by associating the information with something that is easier to remember.
