Abstract: Information can be represented both conceptually and imaginarily in memory. It is evident that the shape and color can be represented separately in memory. Further research is needed on whether features are represented separately or not, such as color and texture, texture and shape etc. Two experiments were conducted to investigate separable representation of texture and shape, texture and color.The results indicated that texture could be represented separately with color and shape respectively. It suggested that different features might be processed in different ways during remembering. Another interesting finding is that recognition performance for shape, color and texture were quite different.For shape it is highest,for color it is lowest and for texture it is between both of them.

Key words: memory, picture, representation feature
