Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chunking is the process of breaking down information into smaller, more manageable units, which can improve working memory capacity. By dividing the phone numbers into two-and three-digit numbers, the individual is effectively using chunking to improve their short-term memory. The other options (maintenance rehearsal, the key number system, and the method of loci) do not accurately describe the memory strategy that is being employed.
