Unitization, like “chunking”, describes a process allowing information to be encoded or processed more efficiently. The idea is that the information capacity of certain cognitive functions, such as working memory, is fixed.

- Philip Kellman and Patrick Garrigan, Perceptual learning and human expertise (2008)

Physics of Life Reviews 6 (2009) 53–84

… gets stuck on details, sees

everything as significant.

… sees patterns, narrows down the

options on instinct.

Final project “The final project should focus on finding a good question to answer in relation to your line of work, trying to find potential answers that involve the use of social media or web 2.0 services, and then building a web resource a colleague or administrator could explore independently in twenty minutes or less, that would convince the target person of the validity of your solution (or at least of your question)”
