Miller’s Law

Miller’s Law comes into play as you start to think about how to manage the accounts over which you have stewardship.

George Miller was an American psychologist who worked in, and established the field of, cognitive psychology at Harvard University, MIT and Princeton. In 1956 Miller asserted that there was a ‘magical number’, 7.

Miller’s law suggests that the average person can only keep 7 (plus or minus 2) items in their working memory at a time.
