Chunking is a brain process that simplifies a sequence of complex actions and embeds them in a behavioral chunk. The behavioral chunk is subsequently encoded in the basal ganglia as a habit. The brain is an efficient machine that always finds ways to save energy by simplifying brain processes in a way that we don’t have to put some thought to simple, basic, and repetitive behaviors."
