visuo-spatial working memory

Visuo-spatial working memory is the mental ability to temporarily hold and manipulate visual and spatial information. It allows you to remember the location of objects, navigate environments, or reproduce a pattern. For example, when you try to remember where you placed your keys or visualize a route while driving, you are using this type of memory. It works like a mental scratchpad for visual details and spatial relationships, helping you process and interact with the visual world effectively and efficiently in real-time.
