Step 4 - Chunking Process + Retrieval Cues Flashcards
Chunking and Retrieval Cues are foundational tools for word for word memorization for actors and comedians - these ideas are probably the best ways to describe the memory process
Divide material into 7 chunks - to work with 7 item limit of short term memory
Each chunk must be manageable as a memory task - when material exceeds manageable size then further division into additional 7 chunks is used to
create manageable memory tasks - once memorized, the additional chunks are integrated back into the original 7 chunks - the end goal is always the original 7 chunks
Retrieval Cues - each chunk, original or additional must be named - each retrieval cue name must be memorable - easy to remember - the naming process is highly personal so do what works best for you
Key question - how can method of loci be integrated into word for word memory chunking? (sequence is still an issue)
