Hi Trevor Trevor said: The point here is:- memory is specific to individuals - there is no generality about different people's ability to remember. Some exposed to lots of numbers will remember - with practice lots, others can not remember any. do not pin hopes on any one number - identify the nature of the person first. Didier says: I won't continue this thread in the XML list because it is more appropriate in a psychology discussion group. However, to respond to your point, training do not affect short memory capacity but uses it more efficiently by using tricks like story telling, image associations, etc... In fact, by using such tricks the chucking mechanism is more powerful and refer to bigger set of data. Your point about mind expansion reminds me some Timothy Larry arguments in the 60s. regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@n... http://www.netfolder.com xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
