When trying to memorize
a phone number, instead
of remembering all ten
digits as a single long
number (e.g.,

chunk it into smaller
groups: 123-456-7890.
Using chunking can help
when studying for an
exam by organizing
information into
categories or themes, like
grouping related concepts
together. This can make it
easier to understand and
