Learning by Chunking

Chunking involves similar ideas to Macro Operators and originates from psychological ideas on memory and problem solving.

The computational basis is in production systems (studied earlier).

SOAR is a system that use production rules to represent its knowledge. It also employs chunking to learn from experience.
