  2. Mental image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_image

    The problem of exactly how these images are stored and manipulated within the human brain, in particular within language and communication, remains a fertile area of study. One of the longest-running research topics on the mental image has basis on the fact that people report large individual differences in the vividness of their images.

  3. Recognition memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recognition_memory

    Recognition memory, a subcategory of explicit memory, is the ability to recognize previously encountered events, objects, or people. [1] When the previously experienced event is reexperienced, this environmental content is matched to stored memory representations, eliciting matching signals. [ 2 ]

  4. Random-access memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory

    The first practical form of random-access memory was the Williams tube. It stored data as electrically charged spots on the face of a cathode-ray tube. Since the electron beam of the CRT could read and write the spots on the tube in any order, memory was random access.

  5. Visual memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_memory

    The experience of visual memory is also referred to as the mind's eye through which we can retrieve from our memory a mental image of original objects, places, animals or people. [1] Visual memory is one of several cognitive systems, which are all interconnected parts that combine to form the human memory. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_schema

    An image schema (both schemas and schemata are used as plural forms) is a recurring structure within our cognitive processes which establishes patterns of understanding and reasoning. As an understudy to embodied cognition, image schemas are formed from our bodily interactions, [1] from linguistic

  7. Recall (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recall_(memory)

    However, the elicited memory is devoid of personal grounding and often considered trivial, such as a random word, image, or phrase. ISM retrieval can occur as a result of spreading activation, where words, thoughts, and concepts activate related semantic memories continually. When enough related memories are primed that an interrelated concept ...

  8. Picture superiority effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_superiority_effect

    Allan Paivio's dual-coding theory is a basis of picture superiority effect. Paivio claims that pictures have advantages over words with regards to coding and retrieval of stored memory because pictures are coded more easily and can be retrieved from symbolic mode, while the dual coding process using words is more difficult for both coding and retrieval.

  9. Autobiographical memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobiographical_memory

    Recent studies have used non-verbal cues for memory, such as visual images, music or odours. [40] Emerging evidence suggests that music is a strong cue for autobiographical memories. Compared to face-evoked, food-evoked, and television-evoked cues, music-evoked autobiographical memory cues were found to be more salient through measures ...
