We investigated one of the basic properties of selective memory accuracy of a brief visual event scene in a short-range of temporal sequence. In the present study, we used a slow appearance frequency of a serial visual presentation of letters for already segmented scenes of a time sequence. A brief visual change simultaneously appeared with one of a letter scene as a salient event. In four experiments, we examined the temporal and spatial effect of this peculiar visual event on the memery of the letters, which appeared independently. The results of the present study presumably indicate that if a salient visual change occurs with a close temporal proximity to a sequence of brief scenes, then our memory system assigns a high priority to the scene of the peculiar event as a snapshot. In addition, the memory of the scene details are preserved only for the information registered as belonging to the same object.
