ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I will briefly review evidence for a modular distinction between verbal and spatial short-term memory systems, as well as evidence highlighting their functional similarities with respect to the processing of order. The concept of transition will be argued to be potentially useful as one spanning beyond modality boundaries. I will then review the evidence indicating that such concepts translate, in the visuospatial domain, as the spatial path formed by successive to-be-remembered locations, as revealed by the impact of path complexity manipulations on order memory.
