Visual Memory Systems

Andrew Hollingworth, Steven J. Luck

Open publisher page 10 citations

Abstract

This chapter summarizes the various visual memory systems that are discussed in this book, focusing on the nature of the representations used by these systems, their temporal dynamics, their neutral substrates, and their functional role in visually guided behavior. It discusses the definition of visual memory. It then describes the three main subsystems of visual memory: visual sensory memory, visual short-term memory (VSTM), and long-term memory (LTM).
