George A. Miller

George A. Miller was a pioneering cognitive psychologist known for his work on how the human mind processes information. He famously proposed that our short-term memory can hold about seven items at once, a concept known as "the magical number seven." His research helped shape understanding of attention, memory, and language, influencing both psychology and fields like education and artificial intelligence. Miller’s work emphasized the importance of mental processes in understanding human behavior, making him a key figure in cognitive science.
