Identify the key concept in the problem: Akari is remembering her Social Security number by breaking it into parts.
Understand the term 'chunking': Chunking is a memory strategy that involves breaking down information into smaller, manageable units or 'chunks' to make it easier to remember.
Relate the concept of chunking to the problem: Akari is using chunking by dividing her Social Security number into three parts, which helps her remember it more effectively.
Differentiate chunking from other options: Selective attention involves focusing on specific stimuli, retrieval is accessing stored information, and maintenance rehearsal is repeating information to keep it in short-term memory.
Conclude that the process Akari is using is chunking, as it involves organizing information into smaller units to enhance memory retention.
