AB  - Velocity discrimination thresholds for drifting luminance gratings were measured 
      as a function of the time interval between test and reference gratings, using a 
      two-interval, forced-choice procedure. Discrimination thresholds, expressed as 
      Weber fractions (delta V/V), were independent of interstimulus intervals (ISIs) 
      ranging from 1-30 s, demonstrating perfect short-term retention of velocity 
      information. When a third grating was briefly presented halfway through a 10-s 
      ISI, memory masking was observed. Discrimination thresholds in memory masking 
      were unaffected by maskers of the same velocity but increased by 100% when test 
      and masker velocity differed by a factor of 2. The results are interpreted with 
      reference to a model where the short-term memory for simple stimulus attributes 
      is assumed to be organized in terms of arrays of memory stores linked in a 
      lateral inhibitory network.
