Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory memory refers to the temporary persistence of information that has struck the senses, which lingers briefly as it is being comprehended. Visual persistence is called iconic memory and auditory persistence is labeled echoic memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Iconic memory, or visual sensory memory, holds visual information. It’s a type of sensory memory, just like echoic memory. But iconic memory is much shorter. It lasts for less than half a second.

Detailed explanation-3: -Iconic memory is similar to echoic memory but for the sense of sight instead of sound. They are very similar, but the main difference is in their duration. Echoic memory stores auditory stimuli for several seconds, and iconic memory stores visual stimuli for a few hundred milliseconds .

Detailed explanation-4: -the brief retention of an image of a visual stimulus beyond cessation of the stimulus. This iconic image usually lasts less than a second. In a multistore model of memory, iconic memory precedes short-term memory. Also called visual sensory memory.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sensory memory can be divided into subsystems called the sensory registers: such as iconic, echoic, haptic, olfactory, and gustatory. Generally, iconic memory deals with visual sensing, echoic memory deals with auditory sensing, and haptic memory deals with tactile sensing.
