fusion method  

Definition

  • A method of studying visual memory. Two visual stimuli are presented successively. Individually, each stimulus has no meaning. However, if combined, they represent a recognizable object. The experimenter asks the subject to superimpose the first stimulus on the second during its presentation. The memory of the first stimulus is confirmed if the subject recognizes the object after the fusion of the two stimuli.
