What is amnesia?
Organizing information into smaller pieces to make it easier to remember.
What is chunking?

What is memory?
What is regulating emotions?

PEMDAS, which stands for the order in which you should approach a mathematical equation, is an example of this memory aid.
What is a mnemonic device?

The specific process that includes encoding of details like the meaning of words, time, frequency and more.

What is the misinformation effect?
Studying across small durations instead of studying for long periods of time.

A "technique to help make sure information goes from short-term memory to long-term memory" (Spielman et al., 2022).
