And each time we move our eyes, our visual system needs to remap the > contents of our visual array. Suppose that you are looking at a fixation > cross and there is a triangle at the extreme right-hand side of your > periphery. When you move your eyes and fixate on the triangle, the triangle > is in your fovea and the fixation cross is at the extreme left-hand side of > your peripheral vision. At first, the triangle showed up in the right-hand > side of your visual field and then it was bang in the middle of it. But > your visual system takes this triangle to be the same. So the visual system > needs to somehow keep track of this triangle in a way that would assure > that its identity is preserved across the radical change in which part of > your visual field it shows up. This phenomenon is called trans-saccadic > memory, because the visual system needs to remember from the beginning of > the saccade to the end of the saccade what visual objects are where in the > visual field. In this talk, I argue that trans-saccadic memory is a form of > temporal mental imagery. > > -- > Kourken Michaelian > http://phil-mem.org/ > -- https://www.vidal-rosset.net/mailing_list_educasupphilo.html
