The cognitive strategy of organizing individual units of information into larger, meaningful groups to enhance memory capacity.
From 'chunk' (a thick piece), of uncertain origin, possibly from a dialect variant of 'chuck.' Psychological sense from George Miller (1956).
Chunking is how you remember a phone number — instead of ten separate digits, your brain groups them into three or four chunks!
