Hi,

Psychologists have known for some time that human short-term memory
capacity hovers around the so-called magic number seven with an
experimental margin of error of plus or minus two. Check it out:

PS. I am working on an update to the memory model that will explain
how sequence learning is accomplished. I believe that I am now very
close to a final brain model. This means that I will start writing
some code soon to implement it all in the Animal program. Animal will
not, however, have a cerebellum because I don't think it's necessary
for such a small brain. Won't take me long to implement. Believe it
or not, the coding part is the easiest thing of them all. Coming up
with the correct model was the really hard part. Once I get Animal
behaving intelligently, I intend to publish the whole thing,
including the source code. Don't be too surprised if it makes it into
the headlines.
