Abstract
Numerous cognitive architectures have been proposed for human cognition, ranging from perception, decision making, to action and control. These architectures play a vital role as foundation for building intelligent systems, whose capabilities may one day be similar to that of the human brain. However, most of these architectures do not address the challenges and opportunities specific to visual perception and memory, which form important parts of our daily tasks and experiences. In this paper, we briefly review some of the cognitive architectures related to perception and memory. As studies of visual perception and memory are active research areas in cognitive science, we summarized what has been done so far, how neurobiology and psychology have identified different memory systems, and how different stages of memory processing are performed. We described different types of visual memory, namely short-term memory, long-term memory, episodic and semantic memories. Finally, we tried to predict what should be done towards a visual memory architecture for enabling autonomous visual information processing systems.
