I'm really tired of hearing the 4 items +/- 2 being parroted around in cases like these. The studies that come to that number are basically "Remember these completely arbitrary things such as numbers or words in order". That's nothing like reading lines of codes where you have variable names, and you're able to construct meaning and relationship between the things in your mind. Sure, it might be relevant if all variables were named "x", "xx", "xx", - but they're not.
