Final answer:
Eidetic memory consists of visual representations created by the brain after the original stimulus is no longer present and is commonly referred to as 'photographic memory', although they are not the same. Sensory memory briefly holds sensory information, and short-term memory is where information is temporarily stored.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks about visual representations created by the brain after the original stimulus is no longer present. The correct answer to this question is 'd. Eidetic memory'. Eidetic memory refers to the ability to recall an image, sound, or object in memory after only a few instances of exposure, without using a mnemonic device. It is different from photographic memory, which is the ability to recall pages of text or numbers, or similar items in great detail. This type of memory is rare and more commonly found in children than in adults.
Sensory memory is a very brief storage of sensory information which holds sights, sounds, tastes, etc., and lasts up to a couple of seconds before it is either forgotten or stored in short-term memory. Short-term memory or working memory, on the other hand, is where information is stored temporarily for about 20 to 30 seconds. Long-term memory refers to the continuous storage of information that is not in active use.
Illustrating with an example, if someone spends a short time looking at a complex image and then, even after the image is removed, can still 'see' it in their mind's eye in vivid detail, they are demonstrating eidetic memory.
