Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The student is using the process of chunking, which involves breaking down a large amount of information into smaller, more manageable chunks. In this case, the student is grouping the letters into four groups based on their meaning or association (HBO, IBM, USA, LOL), which makes it easier to remember them as a whole. Semantic grouping (A) and clustering (C) are similar to chunking, but refer to grouping based on meaning or similarity, rather than breaking down into smaller chunks. Affiliating (D) is not a recognized memory technique.
