auditory system
during every moment of an organism's life, sensory information is being taken in by sensory receptors and processed by the nervous system. sensory information is stored in sensory memory just long enough to be transferred to short-term memory. humans have five traditional senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch. sensory memory (sm) allows individuals to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimulus has ceased. a common demonstration of sm is a child's ability to write letters and make circles by twirling a sparkler at night. when the sparkler is spun fast enough, it appears to leave a trail which forms a continuous image. this "light trail" is the image that is represented in the visual sensory store known as iconic memory. the other two types of sm that have been most extensively studied are echoic memory, and haptic memory; however, it is reasonable to assume that each physiological sense has a corresponding memory store. children for example have been shown to remember specific "sweet" tastes during incidental learning trials but the nature of this gustatory store is still unclear.

however, visuo-spatial short-term memory can retain visual and/or spatial information over brief periods of time. when this memory is in use, individuals are able to momentarily create and revisit a mental image that can be manipulated in complex or difficult tasks of spatial orientation.there are some who have disparities in the areas of the brain that allow for this to happen from different types of brain damage. there can also be a misunderstanding here in the differences between transient memories such as the visual sensory memory. a transient memory is merely a fleeting type of sensory memory. therefore, as the visual sensory memory is a type of sensory memory, there is a store for the information, but the store last for only a second or so. a common effect of the visual sensory memory is that individuals may remember seeing things that weren't really there or not remembering particular things that were in their line of sight. the memory is only momentary, and if it isn't attended to within a matter of seconds, it is gone.
