Schematic illustration of the method of Experiment 1. Patterns shown on the squares represent colors in the actual experiment. The participant responds to the question mark within the display of multicolored masks by estimating by keypress the number of items stored in mind. The response to the probe in this experiment is to indicate by keypress how many items changed color from the original array. In this example, 2 items changed; across trials, from 0 to all 5 items could change. In half the trials, the question mark seen here was replaced by an X and no storage judgment was to be made.
