Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chunking involves grouping information into meaningful units, which requires retrieval of meaningful long-term memory information. Sensory memory encoding (B) and processing by prospective memory (A) are not necessary for chunking to work. While retrieval preceding storage (D) is important in memory processes, it is not specifically required for chunking.
