The Brown-Peterson distractor technique involves presenting distractions or interfering stimuli to test short-term memory retention, which Toni did not use in this process. The other methods that Toni used were chunking (grouping items into categories), long-term memory (relying on past knowledge to remember items), and short-term memory (holding the items in mind temporarily).
