No Coincidence, George: Capacity Limits in Cognitive Processing Reflect the Curse of Generalization

2025-02-14

Abstract excerpt

<p>The striking constraints of some human cognitive processes stand in stark contrast to the nearlimitless capability of others. While we can acquire and flexibly use vast amounts ofinformation, the amount we can process at any one time is often stiflingly limited: for examplethe number of items we can hold in working memory or the number of tasks that can beperformed at once.
