Question

Those who seem to be memory whizzes tend to use ________ to aid memory.

automatic processing

acronyms

mnemonics

chunking

Answer 1

C) Mnemonics

Mnemonic is a system which helps to remember information by the association of pattern of letters or ideas to something. we encode the information in a way that helps in storing it efficiently and in retrieval.

automatic processing happens after a repetition of the same task a lot of times.

acronyms are just an abbreviation formed by the initial letters of a few other words and pronounced as one, for example, NASA. it helps in remembering but not as much to become a memory whizz.

Now chunking is a memory technique to learn new information by dividing it into parts or chunks and then it becomes easier to learn.
