A <cognitive psychologist> who applied <information theory> to limits on human information processing. His 1956 paper distinguished immediate <human memory> from judgments of isolated sensory magnitudes and emphasized that <chunking (psychology)> changes how much information a remembered unit contains. Familiar groups of items can be retained as units, so a count of remembered units is not a universal limit on <bits> of information. <The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two by George Armitage Miller>[Immediate memory, recoding and concluding discussion]{ref}
