| Organization also makes a difference in our ability to remember."信息编组"对我们的记忆力也起很大作用。 How useful would a library be if the books were kept in random order? 假如一座图书馆里的藏书乱七八糟，没有顺序，那这座图书馆还能有处吗？ Material that is organized is better remembered than jumbled information. 按着一定编目的材料要比杂乱无章的混乱信息好记得多。 One example of organization is chunking. Chunking consists of grouping separate bits of information. 信息编组的典型例子就是分块记忆。每块记忆材料是由一些零散孤立的信息所组成的。 Fox example, the number 4671363 is more easily remembered if it is chunked as 467,13,63. 例如，要记住4671363这个数字，如果把它再分成三块467，13，63，就更容易记住了。 Categorizing is another means of organization. 分类编组是另一种方法。 Suppose you are asked to remember the following list of words: man, bench, dog, desk, woman, horse, child, cat, chair. 假如要求你记住下列生词：男人、凳子、狗、课桌、女人、马、孩子、猫、椅子。 Many people will group the words into similar categories and remember them as follows: 很多人会把这些按词义相近编成下列三个小类： man, woman, child; cat, dog, horse; bench, chair, desk. Needless to say, the second list can be remembered more easily than the first one. 男人、女人、孩子；猫、狗、马；凳子、椅子、课桌。不用多说，第二种分三小类的办法比第一种不分类的办法更容易记住。 |
