Sports are something most Americans can relate to; many of us played some type of sport as a kid and some of us are die-hard fans. Sports have developed with us as a society and have become an interwoven piece of our culture and their effects can be seen in many cities countrywide. The facilities where these teams play can become a centerpiece of the local community and the teams themselves can bring people from all walks of life together in search of one mutual goal, for their team to win.

Essay On Iconic Memory
1240 Words | 5 Pages
Research suggests that visual information is acquired when the eyes are fixated on an object; however, our eyes constantly move and shift (e.g. to saccade) to view the objects in our environment. When a saccade occurs (lasting approximately 300 ms) vision is suppressed resulting in temporally and spatially separated snapshots of our environment. Because of this, it has been hypothesized that a visual memory process is needed to seamlessly connect the snapshots created by saccades (Vogel, Luck, & Woodman, 2006). This memory process is termed Iconic Memory (IM) and defined as “the visual sensory memory register pertaining to the visual domain and a fast-decaying store of visual information” (cite).
