Question

george a. miller published a paper proposing that
a. short - term memory is limited to remembering information for seven minutes
b. short - term memory is limited to remembering about seven items of unfamiliar material
c. short - term memory can retain information for seven years
d. there are seven people in the world who do not have short - term memory
please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

George A. Miller's paper proposed the "magic number seven, plus or minus two" concept. This concept refers to the capacity of short - term memory for unfamiliar material. Short - term memory duration is typically around 15 - 30 seconds (not seven minutes or seven years as in A and C). Option D is not related to Miller's work on short - term memory capacity.

Answer:

B. short - term memory is limited to remembering about seven items of unfamiliar material
