DESCRIPTION:To interact successfully with the visual world\, human beings 
 must be able to store brief mental representations of spatio-temporal stru
 ctures. In traditional models however\, visual sensory storage corresponds
  to a single snapshot. We present empirical evidence that successive array
 s of alphanumeric stimuli can be held in a buffer that preserves their tem
 poral order. We suggest how existing models of visual sensory storage coul
 d be revised to accommodate our results and we discuss practical implicati
 ons for studies that use backward masking to “terminate the icon”.
