We assessed the processing capacity of establishing statistical summary representations (SSRs) of mean size in visual displays using the simultaneous-sequential method. Four clusters of stimuli, each composed of several circles with various diameters, were presented around fixation. Observers searched for the cluster with the largest or smallest mean size. In the simultaneous condition, all four clusters were presented concurrently; in the sequential condition, the clusters appeared two at a time. We found that the processing capacity of SSRs for multiple ensembles was as extreme as a fixed-rate bottleneck process (Experiment 1). A control experiment confirmed that this was not caused by having to compare the results of multiple averaging processes (Experiment 2). In contrast to computing SSRs across ensembles, computing SSRs for a single ensemble using the same stimuli was consistent with unlimited-capacity processing (Experiment 3). Contrary to existing claims, summary representations appear to be extracted independently for items within single ensembles but not multiple ensembles. A developing understanding of capacity limitations in perceptual processing is discussed.
