What is a maximum number of objects we can immediately grasp at eye, without counting?
I would also appreciate if you can explain or give some references.
Thanks :)
OK, I can see 3 apples, but I can not see the 20 of them before I count them. That was what I meant. But what is the maximum and why?

I think that experiments give the answer as seven (7), which is also the number of digits or letters we can hold in short-term memory, like a phone number. No reason why is given; it just seems to be the limit for our brain at doing that task.
