## Bibliographic Reference Miller, G.A. (1956) 'The magical number seven, plus or minus two: Some limits on our capacity for processing information', *Psychological Review*, 63(2), pp. 81–97. doi: 10.1037/h0043158. `miller1956magical` ## BibTeX ```bibtex @article{miller1956magical, author = {Miller, George A.}, title = {The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on our Capacity for Processing Information}, journal = {Psychological Review}, volume = {63}, number = {2}, pages = {81--97}, year = {1956}, doi = {10.1037/h0043158} } ``` ## Routing Note Primary owner: human-centered-design-kb. Foundational working-memory / chunking source acquired from the cognitive-limits research queue (`Outputs/2026-06-01_cognitive-limits-sources-research-queue.md`). Compiles to working-memory-capacity (with Cowan, 2001). The file is the York "Classics in the History of Psychology" reprint, so the layout is reflowed; original Psychological Review pagination is preserved inline as [p. NN] markers and used for locators.
