For how long does an image you see remains in your sensory memory?
What we see, hear, touch, smell or taste is briefly stored in your memory for a very short time, just long enough for you to decide if you need to pay attention to it or discard it. This type of memory is called sensory memory. As pilots we care mostly about the information received through vision and hearing.
- Our echoic memory (memory of what we hear) lasts for approximately two to eight seconds.
- Our iconic memory (memory of what we see) lasts for approximately 0.5 to 1 second.
