Clustering

Explanation:

In memory and psychology, clustering is a method to remember information in which the information is organized into similar groups (clusters). These groups are related so, when you try to recall the information, you can access it more easily from your long term memory since different items are related.

In this example, Jennifer was presented with a list of 30 random words, she was asked to recall as many words as she could. Jennifer recalled groups of related words such as harp, flute and piano. We can see that Jennifer grouped some words into similar groups or clusters (such as musical instruments) in order to remember them better since they would be related. Therefore, this pattern of answers during recall demonstrates clustering.
