The event that usually takes place upon filling up the short-term memory to a point that it exceeds its capacity anymore would be called displacement. In addition, an example of it taken from quizlet.com is as follows:
" Think of what happens when the top of your desk gets too crowded. Things start to "disappear" under other things; some items even fall off the desk. So, you can remember that short-term memory is the limited component of the memory system by associating it with the top of your desk: The desk is limited in size, causing you to lose things when it gets crowded, and the same is true of short-term memory"
