How Big Is a Chunk?

Summary: Pending
This paper is missing from PAPERS BY OTHERS file cabinet. Secondary Headline: By combining data from several experiments, a basic human memory unit can be identified and measured. "A crucial role in problem-solving is played by man's short-term memory and the processes that transfer information from short-term to long-term memory (fixation processes). In this article I examine some very simple experiments of a familiar kind, but examine them in a rather unfamiliar way. I seek to extract from earlier studies estimates of parameters that appear to be crucial to human performance in complex tasks and to illustrate how these parameter values predict behavior in a range of laboratory situations."
