Abstract: Like perceptual integration and transsaccadic integration, Information integration between visual short-term memory and visual perception is also important to process and maintain a coherent perception of the scene. Using the empty cell localization task, many studies had been carried out to attempt to find out the experimental evidences for information integration between visual short-term memory and visual perception and to explore its mechanism. The present paper reviewed and analyzed these related experimental paradigms, experimental evidences and integration mechanism between visual short-term memory and visual perception, and pointed out that, based on behavioral data; the convergent evidences from eye movement and brain mapping data were required

Key words: visual short-term memory, visual perception, information integration, empty cell localization
