  • Essay On Iconic Memory

    1240 Words  | 5 Pages

When a saccade occurs (lasting approximately 300 ms) vision is suppressed resulting in temporally and spatially separated snapshots of our environment. Because of this, it has been hypothesized that a visual memory process is needed to seamlessly connect the snapshots created by saccades (Vogel, Luck, & Woodman, 2006). This memory process is termed Iconic Memory (IM) and defined as “the visual sensory memory register pertaining to the visual domain and a fast-decaying store of visual information” (cite).
