“…The ''slot model'' is consistent with classical views of working memory in which a limited number of items or chunks of information can be temporarily held in memory, and both Cowan's (Cowan, 2001) and Miller's (Miller, 1956) conceptions of working memory capacity fall into this category, with capacities limited to 4 and 7, respectively. On the other hand, ''resource models'' propose that working memory comprises a pool of resources that can be allocated flexibly to provide either a small number of high-resolution representations or a large number of low-resolution representations (Bays & Husain, 2008;Gorgoraptis, Catalao, Bays, & Husain, 2011;van den Berg, Shin, Chou, George, & Ma, 2012). These opposing theories have led researchers to conduct a myriad of studies on human visual working memory capacity, the results of which favor either the ''slot model'' or the ''resource model'', depending on the specifics of the experiment (Ma, Husain, & Bays, 2014).…”
