The bit value of working memory.

Abstract: The present study was based on the hypothesis that a limited amount of information can be simultaneously processed in working memory. The main objective was to determine the capacity of working memory under experiment conditions and express it in terms of bits of information. The bit values of the selected objects used in the experiment were determined using Shannon's formula. The objects were presented to the participants as a set of charts. Each chart presented a four-element object with a particular bit val… Show more

“…The brain as an information processing unit has extraordinary capabilities but also significant limitations. Cognitively, one of the greatest limitations is working memory, limited to approximately 30 bits [8]. On the other hand, the brain has nearly endless capacity for long-term memory [9].…”
