Adults' short-term memories can be assisted by "chunking" - grouping the information to be remembered in larger units.

Is there a name for that, besides just "chunking"? That really applies to my line of work (Information Architecture) because often software needs to give users a lot of information and we encourage this chunking to help that along. It's always nice to be able to pull out a psychology reference. Lends what we're saying a little more credence.
