During a cognitive experiment investigating forgetting, a researcher observed that one participant successfully recalled a sequence of 12 distinct, multi-colored geometric shapes shown in a specific order. The researcher suspected that the participant employed a specific memory improvement strategy to prevent forgetting and retrieval failure, despite receiving no instructions to do so.
Identify one memory improvement strategy that this participant could have used. Explain how this strategy could be applied to help them successfully recall the 12 geometric shapes in their correct sequence.
