Editing Visual short-term memory (section)

==Intermediate visual store==
There is some evidence of an [[intermediate visual store]] with characteristics of both iconic memory and VSTM.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Are There Multiple Visual Short-Term Memory Stores? |journal=PLOS ONE|volume=3 |issue=2|pages=e1699 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0001699 |pmid=18301775|pmc=2246033 |year=2008 |last1=Sligte |first1=Ilja G.|last2=Scholte|first2=H.

It coexists with VSTM but unlike it visual stimuli can overwrite the contents of its visual store.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Pinto | first1 = Y. | last2 = Sligte | first2 = I.S. | last3 = Shapiro | first3 = K.L. | last4 = Lamme | first4 = V.A.F. | year = 2013 | title = Fragile Visual Short-Term Memory is an object-based and location-specific storage | journal = Psychonomic Bulletin & Review | volume = 20 | issue = 4| pages = 732–739 | doi = 10.3758/s13423-013-0393-4 | pmid = 23456410 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Further studies suggests an involvement of [[visual area V4]] in the retention of information about the color of the stimulus in visual working memory,<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0784-09.2009|pmid=19515911|pmc=6665414|title=V4 Activity Predicts the Strength of Visual Short-Term Memory Representations|journal=Journal of Neuroscience |volume=29 |issue=23 |pages=7432–7438|year=2009 |last1=Sligte |first1=I.
