TLDR
Results indicate that the visual process involves a buffer storage which includes an erasure mechanism that is local in character and tends to erase stored information when new information is put in.Abstract:
Experiments are performed that demonstrate some of the functional properties of short-term storage in the visual system, its decay, readout and erasure. Results indicate that the visual process involves a buffer storage which includes an erasure mechanism that is local in character and tends to erase stored information when new information is put in. Storage time appears to be of the order of one-quarter second; storage capacity is more difficult to assess.read more

TL;DR: This chapter presents a general theoretical framework of human memory and describes the results of a number of experiments designed to test specific models that can be derived from the overall theory.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that the brain produces an internal representation of the world, and the activation of this internal representation is assumed to give rise to the experience of seeing, but it leaves unexplained how the existence of such a detailed internal representation might produce visual consciousness.

TL;DR: Property of the visual system, as well as the reader's knowledge of the language, must be relevant in order for the information in the text to be relevant.

Perceptual recognition as a function of meaningfulness of stimulus material
TL;DR: The data suggest that the first stages of information processing are done in parallel, but scanning of the resultant highly processed information is done serially.
