Mnemonic

Answer 1

Mnemonic - creating a mnemonic device or acronym to help remember the rules of the game, such as "Soc-Ro-Pa" for Soccer-Rock-Paper Scissors.

Answer 2

So it's not Assimilation?

Answer 3

Assimilation involves incorporating new information into existing knowledge or schemas, so it could still be a part of the process of remembering the rules of the game, but it may not be the primary method used to remember the rules. The mnemonic device could be the main technique employed to help remember the rules, while assimilation helps integrate those rules into existing knowledge structures.
