Can we consciously see more items at once than can be held in visual working memory? This question has eluded resolution because the ultimate evidence is subjects' reports in which phenomenal consciousness is filtered through working memory. However, a new technique makes use of the fact that unattended 'ensemble properties' can be detected 'for free' without decreasing working memory capacity.
我们能否有意识地一次看到超过视觉工作记忆容量的更多项目？这个问题一直没有得到解决，因为最终的证据是通过工作记忆过滤的被试报告。然而，一种新技术利用了这样一个事实，即无需降低工作记忆容量，就可以“免费”检测到未被注意的“整体属性”。
