#memory

Your memory retains more if you spend 10 to 15 minutes doing nothing instead of doing something productive after studying. Pacing your studies with minimal interferences during these breaks helps the process of memory consolidation.

It's a model of memory proposed in 1968 by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin.

It provides the lasting retention of information and skills.

Short-term memory can keep information for somewhere on the order of 10 seconds up to 30 seconds, when the information is not being actively rehearsed.

Also, chunking improves our creativity because we need to create a meaningful connection among groups.
