Abstract
I QUESTION the validity and conclusions of the experiment by Valentine1 which purports to show that visual memory is not holographic. The experiment was designed on the false premise that the holographic storage of information is necessarily storage of direct sensory stimuli or input units. Holographic memory may be equivalently applied to processed inputs representing the interpreted information content of the direct inputs.
