From: Visual chunking as a strategy for spatial thinking in STEM
String 1 | M Z K | 3 units | Not compressible |
---|---|---|---|
String 2 | M K K | 3 units | Compressible to 2 units via domain-general redundancy |
String 3 | M ZK | 3 units | Potentially compressible to 2 units via spatial grouping, although this grouping does not necessarily help memory performance if no memory association exists between the letters |
String 4 | M OK | 3 units | Compressible to 2 units via spatial grouping and semantic link between O and K available to experts through expert chunking |
String 5 | M KK | 3 units | Compressible to 2 units via domain-general redundancy and spatial grouping |
