visuospatial working memory

Visuospatial working memory is the brain’s ability to temporarily hold and manipulate images and spatial information. It allows us to remember where objects are, navigate environments, and organize visual details in our minds for short periods. For example, it helps you recall the layout of a room, assemble a puzzle, or follow directions on a map. This type of memory involves processes in the brain that support visual and spatial reasoning, enabling us to interact effectively with our surroundings and perform tasks that require visualizing and mentally working with spatial relationships.
