However. this was a ground breaking study that was instrumental in the birth of cognitive psychology, and deserves to be honoured. I just wish people would stop quoting the result!

But, it's a really short memory, well under the short-term memory studied by Miller ! In the lab where I'm working we doign research on visual short-term memory (VSTM), the limit is around 4.
