Visual encoding

Visual encoding refers to the way we process and store visual information in our memory. When we see something, our brain translates that visual input—like colors, shapes, and patterns—into a format it can understand and remember. This process is essential for recognizing faces, objects, and scenes. For example, when you look at a photograph, your brain encodes the visual details, allowing you to recall and recognize that image later. Good visual encoding enhances memory and comprehension, making it easier for us to learn and navigate the world around us.
