Baddeley, Alan – Psychological Review, 1994
George A. Miller's essay gives a clear account of information theory and demonstrates how the concept of limited channel capacity can be applied across sensory dimensions. Its major influence has been demonstrating that immediate memory span is relatively insensitive to the amount of information per item. (SLD)

Comparison of Bayesian and Regression Approaches to the Study of Information Processing in Judgment.
Slovic, Paul; Lichtenstein, Sarah – 1970
Most research on information utilization in judgment and decision making has followed two basic approaches: "regression" and "Bayesian." Each has characteristic tasks and characteristic information that must be processed to accomplish these tasks. There has been a tendency to work within a single approach with minimal communication between the…
