You only briefly see a holiday shopping list for your family members before it gets taken away by a gust of wind. What strategies should you employ to maximize your accuracy in remembering what was on the list

1. Hierarchical organization

2. Chunking

Explanation:

-Hierarchical organization is the grouping together of related items to form clusters.

If information is poorly organized or presented randomly, it makes recall difficult. Therefore, items on a list would be easier to remember if the are grouped into categories.

For example;

Laundry Kitchen Medical

Bleach Napkins Vitamins

Detergent Paper Towels Bandages

Fabric softener Coffee cups Lozenges

-Chunking involves grouping small bits of information into larger units. This is similar to hierarchical organization.
