The chapters are comprehensive, providing both a broad overview of each topic and a summary of the latest research. They also present new perspectives that advance our theoretical understanding of visual memory and suggest directions for future research. This book is a comprehensive guide to visual memory research that will be a valuable resource for both students and professionals."--BOOK JACKET.
