Your Questions About Memory Chunking
Sharon asks…
The process by which you can enable short-term memory to hold more detailed information is called?
a)chanting.
b)changing.
c)charging.
d)chunking
Brian answers:
D)chunking
In memory management:
- Chunking refers to strategies for improving performance by using special knowledge of a situation to aggregate related memory-allocation requests. For example, if it is known that a certain kind of object will typically be required in groups of eight, instead of allocating and freeing each object individually, making sixteen calls to the heap manager, one could allocate and free an array of eight of the objects, reducing the number of calls to two.

In psychology:
- Chunking = grouping together of a number of items by the mind, after which they can be remembered as a single item, such as a word or a musical phrase; configuration of smaller units of information into large coordinated units

In HTTP message transmission:
- Chunking = a facility that allows inconveniently large messages to be broken into conveniently-sized smaller “chunks.” The meaning of the word here is the opposite of that used in psychology and in memory management.

psychology experts?? human memory/?
1.What are the three key processes of memory? Define each in 3 words or less.
2.What role does attention play in our ability to encode information?
3.What are the three levels of processing information?
4.What are the three levels of memory storage?
5.The short-term memory, also known as the memory can hold onto information for about (durability) seconds and hold (capacity) bits of information at a time.
6.What is chunking and how does it help us hold things in the short-term memory?
7.What are the theoretical parts of the working memory?
8.Provide an original example of a flashbulb memory from your own life.
9.What are some of the ways theorists believe we store information in long-term memory?
10.What are retrieval cues? What about context cues? How do these help you remember (or retrieve) information?
11.We make lots of errors in retrieval of memory, and can be easily swayed to remember things that didn’t happen. Describe the misinformation effect and the source-monitoring error.
12.Recall and recognition measures of forgetting are exactly what you take as a test at school! Which kind of test do you prefer, and why?
13.What are some theories on why we forget? Which do you think is the most accurate?
Brian answers:
Do you seriously expect people to answer all these homework questions for you? Just read your book, go to class, and do your own work. Or drop out of school since it’s obvious you are not trying to get anything out of it.

Psychology Memory?! 14252197546541451!?
1. One strategy to increase the amount of material that can be held in working memory is to group related items together into a single unit. This strategy is:
a. chunking
b. context effect
c. state-dependent retreival
2. How can you keep information from fading while in working memory?
a. Use a process called cryptomnesia
b. Use echoic and iconic memory to hold the information longer
c. Use maintenance rehearsal by repeating the information
d. Move the information into sensory memory and then back into working memory
3. According to the stage model of memory:
a. the capacity to remember changes with each age and stage of the lifespan
b. memory consists of the stages of maintenace rehearsal, elaborative rehearsal, and clustering
c. memories evolve in stages from simple memories to complex memories
d. memory consists of three sequential stages: sensory, working and long-term memory
Last one? I think it’s D…..
Brian answers:
1. A. Chunking…as in groups..chunks…you know?
2. C. I think?
3. I just don’t know.
The first one is right on though
Thomas asks…
what variable largely determines whether information is moved from the sensory registers to short-term memory?
is it selective attention,rehearsal,chunking, or serial search
Brian answers:
Selective Attention
For Shanti:
Serial Search: A visual search task in which time to find the target increases with the number of items in the stimulus display, suggesting that the observer must be processing items serially, or sequentially.
William asks…

Paul asks…
psychology course work?
help please psychology cw due in tomorrow and im struggling with the conclusion. my experiment was on the effect of chunking letters as done by miller i used two conditions condition 1 i read single letters out and participants recalled as many as possible and condition 2 i read chunked letters with the same procedure. ppts in condition 2 recalld more than condition 1 sooo it supports my hypothesi that chunking improves memory recal. any idears how to put into a conclusion or a basic layout of a conclusion ….. thanx
Brian answers:
Aight, it by no means has to be long, it can almost be the shortest part of the lab as it can be 1 or 2 sentences.
Just put like
“In conclusion, I have found that chunked letters are more easily rememberable in comparison to single letters.”
Then put a sentence that says why you think that is, like what in the brain you think makes that happen, and if you don’t know just leave it like that.
James asks…
Psych question. I would love some guidence?
mary has just moved into a new dorm. She is making adjustments moving to a new place and meeting new friends. define each of the following terms and explain how each could apply to marys situation.
- Episodic memory
- Prototype
- Retroactive interference
- Chunking
Thank you bery much. i think i have a pretty good idea about what im gonna write but some guidence to make sure im on the right path would be much appreciated.
Brian answers:
She is moving into a new apartment and some of her past memories of home allows her to rearrange her apartment to have that same prototype back home comfort. But things just aren’t going into place due to retroactive interferences, like she wants them to be, so she does them in chunking sequences as they become available.
