Memorization process (4)
I believe the answer is:
rote
'memorization process' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for rote that I've seen before include "Kind of memory - that tore it" , "Unthinking repetition" , "Mechanical repetition (as a means of learning)" , "Way of learning" , "Repetition of something to be learned" .)
