Abstract(in English) We have studied figural complexity and visual short-term memory by using closed figures varying concave/convex structure as shape feature. Subjective complexity could be predicted mostly by depth and number of concave/convex, and it was suggested that judgments of shape similarity was based on averaging degree of similarity at each concave/convex. In recognition experiment, the results showed that detailed shape would be stored in short-term memory with a limited accuracy, and that it was difficult to recognize complex figures with a large number of concave/convex. It was suggested that the shapes in complex figure were stored in short-term memory more distortedly than that in simple figure, because each concave/convex were masked with internal noise individually.
