A visual memory.
A visual memory trace is called "icon" and such memory (the visual memory) is called "iconic memory".
A visual memory.
Iconic memory. It is a short-lived form of sensory memory that stores visual information in its original sensory form for a brief period of time.
duration of iconic memory for about less than one second whereas duration of Echoic memory for about Three to four second- Nilesh Gunjal ( M.A. Psychology)
The term for visual memory is "iconic memory." It refers to the brief retention of visual information, allowing individuals to recall images and scenes for a short duration after the stimulus has disappeared. Iconic memory is a component of sensory memory, specifically related to visual stimuli, and typically lasts only a fraction of a second.
The memory with the shortest duration is sensory memory, specifically iconic memory for visual stimuli and echoic memory for auditory stimuli. Iconic memory lasts only about 250 milliseconds to a few seconds, while echoic memory can persist for a few seconds longer, around 3 to 4 seconds. These types of memory briefly hold sensory information before it either fades or is processed into short-term memory.

The most useful element of sensory memory for Stan while quickly scanning a map of the US would be iconic memory, which pertains to visual stimuli. This type of sensory memory allows him to briefly retain and process visual information, such as the shapes and locations of each state. By relying on iconic memory, Stan can quickly identify and organize the spatial arrangement of states as he glances at the map.
The part of your memory that briefly holds all incoming information is called short-term memory. This short-term memory is usually only 5 to 7 items. You can add more to your short-term memory if you chunk it. You use this method, for example, when you remember a telephone number.
"The Persistence of Memory" is a famous painting by Salvador Dali, known for its surreal depiction of melting clocks in a dream-like landscape. The painting is said to symbolize the fluidity of time and the persistence of memory in the subconscious mind. Dali drew inspiration from Einstein's theory of relativity and his own dreams for this iconic piece of art.
Sensory memory is the initial, brief storage of sensory information that occurs immediately after a stimulus is perceived. It captures a vast amount of information from the environment, such as sights, sounds, and smells, but retains it for only a short duration—typically less than a second for visual stimuli (iconic memory) and a few seconds for auditory stimuli (echoic memory). This type of memory acts as a buffer, allowing the brain to process and determine which information is worth transferring to short-term memory for further processing.
