These senses are also called learning channels: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic/ tactile. We remember mostly through these three channels as well although humans definitely have olfactory and gustatory memories. Why
or how a person remembers something is something of a mystery and experiments have been conducted during the last several decades in an attempt to determine what causes one person
to remember something accurately and another to misrepresent the same event in recall processes or not remember it at all. Investigations of individuals with brain damage as well as with
aging people have offered great insight into which parts of the brain are involved in memory. Clearly, neurons and other cells are involved in memory as are hormones, other enzymes
and a persons mood which has the effect of flooding the body with certain chemicals. Visual memory, the subject of this essay, has
to do with remembering what one sees whether the scene involves letters, digits, geometric representations, objects, people or landscapes. Like all kinds of memory, there are different aspects of visual
memory, for example, there is implicit versus explicit memory, both of which can be assessed. Explicit memory tests require the examiner to give overt instructions to the subject which, in
effect, tells the individual that they will be asked to recall what is presented to them. This instruction then gives the subject the opportunity to use whatever devices he or
she may find useful in order to recall what has been presented. In visual memory testing, the stimuli may be a group of geometric shapes, for example, or it may
be a scene in which there is significant detail. Implicit memory, on the other hand, is what is remembered from observation without being cued that one will be "tested" on
