      Consider: millions of years ago our antecedents gave a massive sacrifice of their left hemisphere. We lost a tremendous amount of short term memory and replaced it with Broca’s, Wernicke & the phonological loop. But why? So we can—talk. Thus chimpanzees can do this—we can’t:pic.twitter.com/CDznxg37p1

      Every animal has a limited amount of brain power and size, so every skill and talent has an opportunity cost. This is not controversial or particularly questioned. The Cognitive Tradeoff hypothesis is about tradeoffs apparent between chimpanzees and human.pic.twitter.com/FzChpI1oDM

      In 1956 "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information” by George A. Miller of Harvard University was published. It was a landmark of human memory research. Bell Labs adopted memory chunking in phone numbers (xxx)-xxx-xxxxpic.twitter.com/SDsB22DRNu

          Consider Kim Peek. He had a skill that would surpass the abilities of the chimpanzees. He had suffered damage through encephalitis to the corpus colosseum. I wrote about him here on Quora: https://www.quora.com/Is-the-ability-to-observe-many-things-at-once-a-documented-human-phenomenon/answer/Brian-Roemmele?ch=10&share=0c808fa3&srid=Pi3 … You may know him: His name was Rain Man in a popular movie.pic.twitter.com/77rhdkiN5P

          This chimpanzee research was performed for over 30 years by Tetsuro Matsuzawa, PhD, Distinguished Professor, Kyoto University Institute for Advanced Study, Professor, Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University, Coordinator. There is much to his work.https://www.matsuzawa.kyoto/cv/en/

          Spencer, not sure what your “no” refers to. It is clear human buffer memory is quite small and we can argue how many angels dance on the head of a pin, but the point is in 1958 Miller actually did the work to find out how humans work. Others stay in a chair and talked of angels.

          Is it not a just matter of practice ? Sure, we aren't 'optimized' to remember more than that by default, but that doesn't mean that's the limit.https://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/11/science/peak-performance-why-records-fall.html …
