Iconic Memory: This is a type of sensory memory specific to visual information retained for only a brief moment after the original stimulus has disappeared - similar to how an image might linger in your mind even after you've looked away from the painting.
Visual Encoding: This is the process of converting new information into mental pictures. It's like creating your own internal painting based on what you see around you.
Visual Perception: The ability to interpret and make sense of visual information from our environment - it's like being able to understand and appreciate what each element in a painting represents.
