how is it like?
Imagine being able to memorize an entire sheet of Russian vocabulary, a list of math equations, or the window arrangement on a large building just by observing it for a few seconds. These are the abilities associated with eidetic imagery, more commonly known as photographic memory. Eidetic imagery has been defined as "the ability to retain an accurate, detailed visual image of a complex scene or pattern... or see an image that is an exact copy of the original sensory experience" (1). People capable of eidetic memory, or eidetikers, are therefore able to recall vivid images within their mind and examine these images as one would examine a photograph.
Photographic memory, also known as eidetic memory, is the ability to recall visual information in great detail after only a brief exposure to it. This means that a person with photographic memory can remember images, objects, words, or other visual stimuli with remarkable accuracy and clarity.
Photographic memory is often considered to be a type of visual memory, which is the ability to remember images and visual information. However, unlike a normal memory, which fades over time, photographic memory is thought to be more permanent and can be recalled with greater detail and accuracy.
While there is no scientific consensus on whether or not true photographic memory exists, there have been numerous cases of individuals who have demonstrated remarkable abilities to recall visual information. However, it is important to note that these cases are rare and not everyone who claims to have photographic memory actually possesses it.
There is currently no scientific evidence that suggests that anyone can develop a photographic memory. However, there are memory techniques and strategies that can help improve one's memory, including visualization and association techniques, which may help improve the ability to recall visual information.
There is no direct correlation between photographic memory and intelligence. While some individuals with photographic memory may have above-average intelligence, there are also many cases of individuals with average or below-average intelligence who possess photographic memory. Photographic memory is simply a unique ability and does not necessarily indicate a higher level of intelligence.
