Felt overwhelmed with an activity Chunking can help you get past the above obstacles. Any subject can be viewed in larger or smaller parts or chunks. By adding new associations, chunking lets you see the matter differently.

A chunk means pieces of information that hang together in a meaningful way. For example, H, O, M, E is four chunks, but the word home is one chunk. 7 (seven), 3 (three), 9 (nine) are three chunks, but 739 (seven hundred thirty-nine) is one chunk. Everyone would agree that it is easier to remember one chunk than it is to remember three or four!

To use the Chunking Technique, all you have to do is to break down the information into smaller, meaningful groups or chunks. Keep in mind that its easier to remember several shorts lists rather then one long one. You can remember more if you separate it into meaningful bits: FB-IM-B-AC-IAI-BMB-MW vsFBI-MBA-CIA-IBM-BMW This number appears too long to remember, doesnt it? 6088717459 When you put into telephone-number format, like this 6 088 717 459, its easier to remember!

Chunking up from part to whole allows you to appreciate the whole by seeing how it is made from the parts and how the parts relate To illustrate the concept, let us begin with a car. Example of chunking up from car would be: transportation ( a car is a part of transportation), or movement ( transportation is part of movement), or Existance (movement is a part of Existance)
