Around 1956, the intellectual landscape began to change dramatically George Miller summarized numerous studies which showed that the capacity of human thinking is limited, with short-term memory, for example, limited to around seven items. He proposed that memory limitations can be overcome by recoding information into chunks mental representations that require mental procedures for encoding and decoding the information. At this time, primitive computers had been around for only a few years, but pioneers such as John McCarthy. Marvin Minsky, Allen Newell, and Herbert Simon were founding the field of artificialintelligence In addition, Noam Chomsky rejected behaviorist assumptions about language as a learned habit and proposed instead to explain language comprehension in terms of mental grammars consisting ofrules The thinkers mentioned in this paragraph can be viewed as the founders of cognitive science see More Home
