Multiple goal pursuit -- to kill two birds with one stone or to fall between two stools ?

We present the simple phenomenological (but - analytic) model allowing to formalize description of multitasking, i.e. simultaneous performing several tasks. That process requires distribution of attention, and for great number of goals do not lead to success. Our consideration shows that simultaneous performing more than two tasks is, most likely, impossible.

On Miller’s rule for the brain working memory, or why human memory is so short

Working memory is a cognitive construct that describes how information can be maintained in brain for a limited period of time, while concurrent processing is also performed. We present a simple model that accounts for working memory span and explains the origin of the cognitive Millers rule (Magical Number Seven).
