Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The short segments of the number that Maria uses to remember her student ID number are called chunks. Chunks allow individuals to break down larger pieces of information into smaller, more manageable parts, which can make it easier to remember. Codes and stores are not appropriate terms to describe short segments of information in memory, and cues may refer to a variety of different memory aids or prompts.
