Question 1 Report

A restaurant manager gives new staff a seven-digit door code. Half repeat it silently in groups such as 415-2067, while the other half repeat each digit separately.

(a) Name the technique used by the first half of the staff. [1]
(b) Explain why this technique may improve immediate recall. [3]
