Example: AI-Generated Notes
Here's what the AI note taker produces from a 52-minute psychology lecture.
Working memory holds 7±2 items (Miller's Law). Long-term memory has unlimited capacity but requires encoding. Encoding specificity principle: context during retrieval should match context during encoding.
Selective attention filters irrelevant stimuli (cocktail party effect). Divided attention degrades performance on complex tasks. Sustained attention decreases after ~20 minutes without breaks.
