Sensory and iconic memory

Reference no: EM1324807

Sensory memory is a general term that is used to refer to sensory buffers that can retain a large amount of memory, but only for a short period of time. One type of sensory memory is iconic memory.

Can you think of a time when someone would use iconic memory? If so, how would they do so? A description of sensory memory is needed, and an instance where iconic memory would be used in order to understand this concept better. Please mention echoic memory as well.
