Tarnow finds that in a classic experiment typically argued as supporting a 4 item buffer by Murdock, there is in fact no evidence for such and thus the "magical number", at least in the Murdock experiment, is 1. [14] [15] Other prominent theories of short-term memory capacity argue against measuring capacity in terms of a fixed number of elements.

George A. Miller suggested that the capacity of the short-term memory storage is about seven items plus or minus two, also known as the magic number 7, [2] but this number has been shown to be subject to numerous variability, including the size, similarity, and other properties of the chunks. [3]
Miller was born on February 3, 1920, in Charleston, West Virginia, the son of George E. Miller, a steel company executive [1] and Florence (née Armitage) Miller. [3] Soon after his birth, his parents divorced, and he lived with his mother during the Great Depression, attending public school and graduating from Charleston High School in 1937.
A PDF file is organized using ASCII characters, except for certain elements that may have binary content. The file starts with a header containing a magic number (as a readable string) and the version of the format, for example %PDF-1.7. The format is a subset of a COS ("Carousel" Object Structure) format. [24]
Scientists have used a food coloring dye used in Doritos and other products to create mice with see-through skin, a low-cost way to assess the body's internal operations.
Some of the data he refers to falls far outside this range. I've even recall reading a slightly sarcastic analysis of Miller's paper saying 7+-2 should actually be 9+-4 from the data Miller presents. --Ronz 21:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC) The reason you cannot find this result in his paper is that Miller never meant to stipulate a magical number.
