How Does Memory Work?

 One popular theory, generated in the 1950,s by George Miller, states that the human memory can recall about seven chunks of information (plus or minus two).  The method by which he arrived at this theory is suspect at best but appears to be somewhat accurate.  It seems that any theory which attempts to explain something as important as memory should be able to give us a better range than 71% -128% of an average.  But Miller's Magic Number, none-the-less, remains a popular topic in the study of memory.
