Limits to the brain - cut off at 4!!

For a long time, we were thinking that we could juggle plenty of things at the same time. It is called multitasking. And a long time back, I wrote that the limits to the conscious mind is that it can only hold between 5-9 pieces of information at any one time. The number gravitates to the higher side on a good day and to the lower side on a bad day.

It is something I always stress in my NLP trainings. Together with the fact that multitasking is bad for the economy (and you!!). This is the reason why we cluster and associate information. Seven categories in my To-Do List are more manageable than 25 different categories.

Now, research limits the ability some more. "Scientists think the true capacity is lower when people are not allowed to use tricks like repeating items over and over or grouping items together. ""For example, when we present phone numbers, we present them in groups of three and four, which helps us to remember the list," said University of Missouri-Columbia psychologist Nelson Cowan, who co-led the study with colleagues Jeff Rouder and Richard Morey. "That inflates the estimate. We believe we're approaching the estimate that you get when you cannot group. There is some controversy over what the real limit is, but more and more I've found people are accepting this kind of limit."

Cool, isn't it? It is so wonderfully nice to see how scientific research puts more and more into the real realm of experience what NLP has always discussed.
