chunking
Segmenting for memory
Chunking is breaking something into smaller, manageable pieces.
In psychology and education, it refers to grouping information to aid memory—remembering a phone number as three chunks rather than ten digits.
In linguistics, it means parsing language into meaningful units.
The verb chunk means to divide this way: I chunked the project into weekly tasks.
