What Is Chunking?
Your brain can only hold about 4-7 things in short-term memory at once. That is not a lot! But here is a trick: you can COMBINE items into CHUNKS.
Try to remember these numbers: 5-8-2-1-4-6-3-9
That is 8 numbers — too many!
Now try: 58-21-46-39
That is only 4 chunks — much easier!
Chunking means grouping small pieces into bigger pieces so your brain has fewer things to hold.
