TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Here's the reference I promised to post. If any of you are interested in
the psycholinguistic concept of "chunking," please email me for a
bibliography. I still maintain that the concept of "chunking" is a
mis-applied justification for dividing text into modules of information.
The reference for the magic number seven:
Miller, G.A. 1956. ³The magical number seven, plus or minus two: Some
limits on our capacity for processing information.² Psychology Review 63:
8196.
