Answer 1

The correct answer is: "Group information to remember it more easily".

Categorization is a stage in the human learning process in which the information received through the senses is differentiated, and understood. Information is divided in categories.

It is a way of encoding information in the working memory units of the human mind, to be stored in the long-term memory units and to enable sucessful retrieval.
