Dr. Georges Miller

Dr. George A. Miller was a prominent American psychologist known for his significant contributions to cognitive psychology and neuroscience. He is best recognized for his work on memory, particularly the concept of "the magic number seven," which suggests that the average person can hold about seven items in their short-term memory. Miller also co-founded the field of cognitive science, uniting psychology with disciplines like computer science and linguistics. His influential research advanced our understanding of how humans process information and shaped modern approaches to studying the mind and behavior.
