Elena is using a memory device called chunking. Chunking is when you take a group of information and place it into something that is memorable or meaningful. This makes the information easier to remember. By making patterns, you are better able to remember more and more information.

Answer from: Jrbizkit

The answer is C. What Elena did is an example of chunking.

EXPLANATION

Chunking means that an individual will put the information in groups so it will be easier to memorize. When an individual is supposed to memorize a lot of information, the individual should divide the information into groups. If the information is put into groups, the brain has an easier time to memorize it.

The easiest example of chunking is to remember the phone number sequence. The phone number consisted of a long number, like 087654387652. If we use chunking as a method, we can remember the numbers easier by putting the numbers into groups. 087654387652 will be 0876-5438-7652. By putting it in groups, an individual will be easier to recall and retain it.

The information will become easier to memorize if the information is in the form of groups. This is possible because the brain has limited short-term memory. The brain can only remember 4 chunks of information at a time in short-term memory.

People can take smaller bits of information and turns it into groups so they will have an easier time memorizing it. The person can make the information more meaningful by making a connection between the information in the chunk. People can also make a connection between the chunks so that they will have a harder time forgetting it because it is memorable. Chunking will enhance people’s ability in memorizing information. People’s ability to chunking will improve over time.

Recall that in one condition of the experiment conducted by stasser and titus (1985) about student council president candidates, all group members had access to the same information, and that in another condition, members had unique information that other group members didn't know. in the second (unshared information) condition, the group made a worse decision than in the first (shared information) condition. this occurred because groups seldom can agree on who is most expert. focus discussion on the information that all members know. often ignore dissenting opinions. avoid differences of opinion, given conformity pressures.

The defendant, angered because a rival gang member had twice beaten him up after school, obtained a heavy lead pipe and waited in a deserted alleyway which he knew the rival took as a route home every day after school. when his enemy came walking down the alley, the defendant leapt out behind him and smashed the pipe into the victim's head, knocking him to the ground. the defendant then rolled the victim over and pounded his face with 15 to 20 heavy blows with the lead pipe, killing him. the jurisdiction defines first degree murder as murder committed with premeditation and deliberation. all other murders are defined as second degree murders. why will the defendant be convicted of first degree murder (as opposed to second degree murder)?
