Miller called it the "magic" number. He argued in his paper published in the influential journal Psychological Review, that seven was the maximum number of chunks of information a human can store in his brain, before confusion sets in. However, a new study by a leading Australian psychiatrist challenges this long-held view, suggesting the number might actually be four, Medical Xpress reports.
