BARBOSA CUNHA MACEDO, Lorena e GALERA, Cesar. The Relevance of Location for Retrieving Visual Information. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.1, pp.1-9. Epub 02-Jun-2022. ISSN 1794-4724. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/apl/a.9876.
The role of localization in the integration of visual char acteristics into memory is controversial. Some evidence suggests that location loses importance soon after the consolidation of information; others, that the location remains associated with the representation of the object for longer. We investigated the role of location for the memory of objects defined by color and shape. Partici pants (36) performed a change detection task with 3 and 6 stimuli, with two retention intervals (500 and 1.500 milliseconds). Performance is better when the load is lower, stimuli are presented in the same places where they were memorized, and it depends on the interaction between these factors. The retention interval does not interfere with the location effect but modulates that of the load. These results suggest that localization is incidental ly encoded with visual stimuli and that this association remains unchanged within the time limits investigated.
