1. George Armitage Miller
George Armitage Miller (American Psychologist) was an American psychologist and one of the founders of cognitive psychology. He is most famous for his paper "The magical number seven, plus or minus two" about how many things an average person can keep in memory at one time.

This idea is sometimes used to limit how many options are available on a computer screen at any one time.

2. Miller's law
In order to understand what another person is saying, you must assume it is true and try to imagine what it could be true of. George Armitage Miller (American Psychologist)

This is the same Miller who made the observation that the number of things an average person can hold in working memory is about seven (plus or minus two).
