Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What is chunking?
Model answer
Chunking is grouping pieces of information into one larger unit. Chunking can let short-term memory hold more.
- 2
Give an example of chunking in sport.
Model answer
A set play in rugby can be remembered as one call rather than many separate movements. Players store the whole move as one chunk.
- 3
How does imagery improve memory?
Model answer
Imagery creates a mental picture of a movement or situation. Pictures are easier to store and recall than words.
- 4
How does association improve memory?
Model answer
Association links new information to something already known. A new skill is compared with a familiar one.
- 5
How does organisation improve memory?
Model answer
A clear structure makes information easier to store. A coach teaches a skill in a logical sequence.
- 6
How does rehearsal improve memory?
Model answer
Rehearsal is repeating information or practising a skill. Repetition moves information into long-term memory.
