A) George Miller

Explanation:

The George Miller's paper (1956) "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information." is remembered as one of the first investigations of information theory applied to psycology.

Miller performed several experiments to measure the short-term memory of persons, finding that in average the brain is capable of remembering 7 digits.
