“5” is a magic number in the brain.
You can easily hold five words and an image for each word in your short-term memory
– AND you will have enough to sort and re-sort these notions in 13 milliseconds for the images.
1 – (STM) Short-Term Memory: STM refers to the ability to hold a small amount of information in an accessible, active state for a brief period. It serves as a “mental workspace” for tasks like reasoning, problem-solving, and comprehension.
2 – Chucking: Capacity varies based on “chunking”—grouping items into meaningful units (e.g., remembering “FBI” as one unit instead of three letters)—which can effectively expand the limit.
3 – Visualization: Visual and semantic encoding (simultaneously in 13 milliseconds can occur but are less dominant unless deliberately emphasized (e.g., picturing an object).
4 – Working Memory: STM is often considered a subset of working memory (WM), a broader concept introduced by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974. WM includes STM plus mechanisms for manipulating information (e.g., mentally rearranging a list)
5 – System 2 Thinking: System 2 is slow, deliberate, and analytical. It requires conscious effort and is activated when we encounter complex or unfamiliar situations. This system:
* Engages in complex problem-solving and logical reasoning
* Allocates attention to effortful mental activities
* Performs tasks like complex calculations, comparing products, and analyzing statistics2
* Can question and override System 1’s intuitions when necessary. (System 1 Thinking 1 is fast, automatic, and intuitive. It operates as fast as 3 milliseconds with little or no effort and no sense of voluntary control).
Here are the five key words for this discussion:
1 -(STM) Short-Term Memory
2 – Chucking
3 – Visualization
4 – Working Memory:
5 – System 2 Thinking
