Seven Plus or Minus Two: The Limits and Tricks of Human Information Processing

We revisit George A. Miller's classic claim that absolute judgments cap at about seven categories. Explore the difference between bits and chunks, how chunking and recoding expand memory, and what multi-dimensional judgments reveal about our cognition. Plus, see how language and perception fit together—and pick up practical takeaways for learning, problem solving, and everyday thinking.
