Miller, George A(rmitage)
born Feb. 2, 1920, Charleston, W.Va., U.S.

U.S. psychologist.

He taught at Harvard, Rockefeller, and Princeton universities. He is known for his work in cognitive psychology, particularly communication and psycholinguistics. In Plans and the Structure of Behavior (with Eugene Galanter and Karl Pribram, 1960), Miller examined how knowledge is accumulated and organized into a practical "image" or plan. His other works, including Language and Communication (1951) and The Science of Words (1991), focus on the psychology of language and communication. He received the National Medal of Science in 1991.
