Chunking and Memory

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

Notes

Chunking is a memorization method in which you group pieces of information in groups.
This technique helps you memorize better because our short-term memory cannot retain a lot of information at the same time.
- When we group, we can retain the groups instead of each piece of information.
Also, chunking improves our creativity because we need to create a meaningful connection among groups.
