In second language (L2) acquisition, chunking is essential for attaining fluency and idiomaticity. In the present study, in order to examine whether chunks provide a processing advantage over non-chunks for L2 learners at different levels of proficiency, three groups (beginner, intermediate, and ...
One big lesson for me in this project is this: while it may seem like turning to LLMs to perform a task is a simple step, when we dig down into the nature of the task and really try to get that task done reliably and with the quality we desire, simple prompt engineering simply won...

There are 4 important processes that come into play when typing a sentence. First, remembering; followed by putting into working memory, chunking into characters, and finally hitting the right key. Essentially, mental actions must be transferred into motor actions. A touch typist has automated moto...
Speed reading is a valuable skill that can help you consume more information in less time. Spend an hour learning speed reading techniques, such as chunking (grouping words together), skimming (quickly scanning for main ideas), and minimizing subvocalization (reducing the habit of “reading” ...
With its proven benefits, microlearning has been widely adopted across industries and is likely to remain a lasting approach in the future. Myth 5: Microlearning is Just Content Chunking Microlearning is more than simply breaking content into smaller parts; it’s a refined approach to eLearning...
The interaction goes both ways. We construct new schemas in working memory so they can be integrated into existing knowledge in long-term memory. And existing knowledge in LTM is brought into working memory to help us understand the world. Otherwise, everything would be new all the time!
