The behavior of chunking is present in a lot of ways.
|
|
|
|
- When we hear the word "popsicle", you may have already envisioned an image of the popsicle.
|
|
- Memorizing a phone number, dividing the number into groups — e.g., 39281841938 into 392-818-419-38.
|
|
- When learning about speedtyping, you may have heard of the advice to learn typing by syllables instead of individual letters.
|
|
- In formal education, most higher-level topics are essentially combining previous topics — e.g., learning mathematics in formal education tends to be: learning the numbers, to counting, then arithmetics, and finally branching out to algebra, geometry, statistics, and calculus.
|
|
- Problem solving tends to be divided into subtasks.
|

Neuroscientifically, a chunk is a group of neurons learned to sing in tune whenever we react in a certain way.
|
|
Chunking makes it easier to hold more information with fewer mental resources.
|
|
We learn bits of information, combining them into chunks, condensing the information.
|
|
This condensed information can then be combined with other information thereby creating a web of information (or scientifically, neural structures).
