🗑
show A memory process whereby related items are grouped together into more easily remembered “chunks” (for example, a prefix and four digits for a phone number, rather than seven unrelated digits).

🗑
show A measure of electrical activity in identifiable areas of the brain, corresponding to specific stimuli.  
🗑
Explicit Memory   show
🗑
show The belief that the inability to recall long-term memories increases with the passage of time as memory traces fade. Also termed decay theory.
