1994 book "Patterns in the Mind"

"Patterns in the Mind" by George A. Miller explores how the human brain organizes and processes information through mental patterns and cognitive structures. It investigates the ways we learn, remember, and think by identifying the underlying patterns that shape our mental processes. The book bridges psychology and information theory, suggesting that our minds function by detecting, storing, and manipulating recurring patterns, which enables understanding complex ideas and solving problems. Overall, it offers insights into the cognitive mechanisms that allow us to make sense of the world and develop intelligence.
