== Opposing Theories ==
Counter to the idea that get a general gist of our visual surroundings by way of summary statistics. Some research in vision science has noted that although humans take in large amounts of visual information, adults are only able to process, attend to, and hold in memory up to about four items from the visual environment. <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Alvarez|first=G.A.|last2=Cavanagh|first2=P.|date=2004-02|title=The Capacity of Visual Short-Term Memory is Set Both by Visual Information Load and by Number of Objects|url=https://doi.org/10.1111/j.0963-7214.2004.01502006.x|journal=Psychological Science|language=en-US|volume=15|issue=2|pages=106–111|doi=10.1111/j.0963-7214.2004.01502006.x|issn=0956-7976}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Luck|first=Steven J.|last2=Vogel|first2=Edward K.|date=1997-11|title=The capacity of visual working memory for features and conjunctions|url=https://www.nature.com/articles/36846|journal=Nature|language=en|volume=390|issue=6657|pages=279–281|doi=10.1038/36846|issn=1476-4687}}</ref> These findings are inconsistent with the theory of ensemble coding.
 
== Historical Context ==
Vision Scientists have expressed interest in how people perceive groups of objects for quite some time. This interest has developed from low-level perceptual processes to high-level perceptual processes spanning multiple disciplines.
 
== OpposingLevels Theoriesof Ensemble Coding ==
All levels suggest the ability to obtain a statistical average and variance of groups or multiple groups.
