       Visuals become autobiographical memories, but there are also memories that become visuals. Visual perception depends not only on retinal information, but also on cognitive information. It is mental imagery, also known as visual imagery or top-down processing, that is the mental representation of cognition. Visual imagery is the ability to generate percept-like images without retinal input and is therefore a vivid demonstration of retrieving pictorial information from memory. Perhaps the scene I remembered was a mental image evoked by a stimulus; a photograph.
