摘要
Cowan assumes that chunk-based capacity limits are synonymous with the essence of a "specialized STM mechanism." In a single experiment, we measured the capacity, or span, of long-term memory and found that it, too, corresponds roughly to the magical number 4. The results imply that a chunk-based capacity limit is not a signature characteristic of remembering over the short-term.
