First Order 

     -  Memory interferes with one's perception

     -  Our way of looking at things is influenced by our                     memory of them

     -  Eye movements and visual priming are used to form                 conclusions on the effect of working  memory on our               perception

     -  Memory isn't reliable

Second Order 

     -  Imagery retained in the mind's eye can influence visual             perception

     -  Using two objects moving in different directions is a                strategy for scientists to test the relationship between                visual working memory and perception

     -  Brain mechanisms are responsible in the linking of                    perception and working memory

     -  External senses are valuable to the perceptual                            processes

     -  The brain and eyes cooperate and link together, but not             to an extent that both organs are examining the same                 matter
