chunk

Perhaps, concepts or perceptions can be sets {chunk, capacity}| of previous concepts or perceptions. Chunk can contain several smaller chunks, by grouping in space or time {chunking} [Cowan, 2001] [Miller, 1956]. Number of chunks that people can keep in immediate memory is seven, plus or minus two. Chunking can synchronize information subsets into unit in time [Miller, 1962]. Bigger chunks can cause weaker memory. For example, longer vowel sounds reduce memory, because it takes longer to articulate items.
