What is a memory unit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different meanings: In information processing terms, a bit is a coherent unit of information that contains one piece of information; a "chunk" is a unit of information that contains several bits of information. These "bits" and "chunks" are represented by neurological changes in synapses and brain centers such as the hippocampus. Short-term memory has a capacity of about 7 chunks of information.
