AB  - Three experiments examined the visual memory representation supporting 
      performance at long interstimulus intervals (ISIs) in an empty cell localization 
      task. Two arrays of dots within a 4 x 4 grid were displayed briefly in 
      succession. One grid cell did not contain a dot in either array, and the task was 
      to localize the empty cell. In Experiment 1, we replicated previous findings of 
      recovery to high levels of performance at long ISIs. In Experiment 2, we tested 
      whether figural grouping in visual short-term memory (VSTM) supports long-ISI 
      performance by manipulating the complexity of the array pattern. Pattern 
      complexity had no effect on empty cell localization at 0-msec ISI, suggesting 
      dependence on high-capacity visible persistence, but there was a large simple 
      pattern advantage at long ISIs, suggesting dependence on figural grouping in 
      VSTM. Experiment 3 demonstrated that participants typically remember the empty 
      cells of the first array, and not the dots, for comparison with Array 2.
