Abstract
IT has been demonstrated by Averbach and Sperling1 that, when using brief visual displays of between four and twelve letters or digits, the level of percentage recall is higher when only a part of the display has to be recalled than when the whole is required. It was contended that peripheral mechanisms subserved this effect.
