What is it?

Chunking involves breaking down large amounts of information into smaller, manageable groups or "chunks" that are easier to remember. Our brains can typically hold 7±2 chunks of information in working memory.

📝

How to Master This

1

Identify patterns or natural groupings in the information

2

Break the information into chunks of 3-4 items

3

Look for meaningful connections within each chunk

4

Create associations or meanings for each chunk

5

Remember the chunks rather than individual items

💡

Real Examples

Phone number 5551234567 → 555-123-4567 (three chunks)

Number sequence 149217761945 → 1492 (Columbus) 1776 (Independence) 1945 (WWII)

Letters FBICIANYPD → FBI CIA NYPD (three organizations)

🎯

Pro Tips

Look for familiar patterns (dates, acronyms)

Group by meaning, not just arbitrary divisions

Use existing knowledge to create meaningful chunks

Ideal chunk size is 3-4 items
