This document is an academic article by George A. Miller, published in The Psychological Review in March 1956. It discusses the limitations of human capacity for processing information, focusing on the concept of the 'magical number seven.' Miller explores experiments on absolute judgment and immediate memory, suggesting that humans can typically distinguish about seven categories in unidimensional stimuli. He also discusses the concept of recoding to increase information retention and the role of multidimensional stimuli in expanding cognitive capacity.
