Abstract: | Human memory is limited in the number of items held in one's mind--a limit known as "Miller's magic number". We study the emergence of such limits as a result of the statistics of large bitvectors used to represent items in memory, given two postulates: i) the Sparse Distributed Memory; and ii) chunking through averaging. Potential implications for theoretical neuroscience are discussed. |
