The capacity for spatial updating in visual short-term memory

Abstract

Participants can update memory for the binding of perceptual features to object locations, but only for approximately two objects, which is significantly smaller than VSTM capacity and significantly smaller than Cowan, N., Elliott, E. M., Saults, J. S., Morey, C. C., Mattox, S., Ismajatulina, A., et al. (2005). On the capacity of attention: Its estimation and its role in working memory and cognitive aptitudes.
