Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chunking is the process of organizing or grouping information into meaningful units, such as memorizing a phone number by grouping it into smaller sets of numbers (e.g. 555-123-4567 is easier to remember when chunked as 555-1234-567). This helps improve memory retention and recall by making the information more manageable and easier to process.
