- information processing theory
George A. Miller has provided two theoretical ideas that are fundamental to
the information processing framework and cognitive psychology more generally.
The first concept is `chunking' and the capacity of short term (working) memory.
Miller (1956) presented the idea that short-term memory could only hold 5-9
chunks of information (seven plus or minus two) where a chunk is any meaningful
unit. A chunk could refer to digits, words, chess positions, or people's faces.
The concept of chunking and the limited capacity of short term memory became a
basic element of all subsequent theories of memory.
