متن کاملTheory and Measurement of Working Memory Capacity Limits
We review the evidence for various kinds of limit in the capability of working memory, the small amount of information that can be held in mind at once. To distinguish between types of limit in working memory, we invoke metaphors of space (capacity), time (decay and speed), and energy (control of attention). The review focuses primarily on recent evidence on a limit in how many chunks can be he...

Attempts to better understand this problem have shed considerable light on the role of WMC in a wide array of research dom...
