Abstract
The main goal of the present work within the framework of information processing psychology is, in the first place, to examine distinguishing features of sensory memory as well as the ways in which it could be used in cognitive processing. In the second place, this text is a critical review of the studies dealing with the sensory memory during other arousal states different from waking in order to analyse the influence exerted by brain states such as sleep on the results of processes underlying sensory memory. All of this will be expounded, first, from a behavioural analysis level, based especially on the information processing model proposed by Cowan (1988), and second, from an electrophysiological level, from which we will offer the most relevant data on the neural representation of sensory memory according to the neurocognitive model of Näätänen (1990).
