Improving Visual Short-Term Memory

Visual short-term memory (VSTM) is the ability to retain a small amount of visual information (letters, shapes, colors, etc.) over a short period of time. This type of memory is part of our short-term memory (STM). The information that we retain from visual short-term memory can be either be worked by working memory, it can go on to create long-term memory, or it can simply be forgotten.
