The Capacity of Short-Term Visual Memory
Discuss your understanding of short-term memory.
Discuss whether your understanding of short-term memory is consistent with the findings of the article (i.e., the visual short-term memory capacity of 4-5 objects with decreased capacity as visual information increases). Think of five real-world memory tasks and rank order them in terms of how much information each item contains within each task. You can use the article “The capacity of visual short-term memory is set both by visual information load and by a number of objects” by Alvarez & Cavanagh.
