What is a Chunk?

= pieces of information bound together through meaning/ use

The new logical whole makes the chunk easier to remember & also makes easier to fit it into the “larger picture”.

Just memorizing a fact without understanding is not enough, you have to find a place for it.

How does it work?

1. Focused practice + repetition (4 slots of working memory make connections to informations of your brain, when you’re angry/stressed/ afraid->less of those connections)
2. Creation of chunks
3. Small chunks becomes larger
4. As you gradually become a master of the material, you’ll have more creative interpretations of it
