Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The figure shows a hierarchical organization of the list of words, with broader categories at the top and more specific examples below. Using hierarchies is an effective encoding strategy because it helps to organize information in a meaningful way, making it easier to retrieve later. Mnemonics involve creating a special association or memory aid to help remember information, nonsense syllables involve learning a list of meaningless syllables in a specific order, and chunking involves grouping information into smaller, more manageable units. None of these strategies are reflected in the figure.
