What is the Latest age at which one can acquire this ability? Are there people who can learn languages easily at older ages given that they had not been exposed at a younger age?
Photographic memory, also known as eidetic memory, is the ability to remember visual information or images with exceptional clarity and detail. It is often associated with the ability to recall large amounts of information after only brief exposure.
While there is no definitive consensus among scientists, many believe that photographic memory is a rare but real phenomenon. Some studies have shown that certain individuals possess exceptional visual memory abilities, but it is not yet fully understood how this works and if it is truly a photographic or eidetic memory.
There is currently no evidence to suggest that photographic memory can be learned or acquired. Some individuals may naturally possess a stronger visual memory, but there is no proven method for developing a photographic memory. However, memory techniques and strategies can be learned and practiced to improve overall memory abilities.
There is some evidence to suggest that children may have a more developed visual memory than adults, but this does not necessarily mean that they have a photographic memory. As we age, our brain may become less efficient at storing and retrieving visual information, but this does not mean that older individuals cannot have a strong visual memory or learn new languages.
There is limited research on the connection between learning new languages and photographic memory. However, studies have shown that learning a new language can have positive effects on cognitive abilities, including memory. It is possible that learning a new language may improve overall memory abilities, but more research is needed to understand the relationship between language learning and photographic memory.
