Image for photographic memory

photographic memory

Photographic memory, also known as eidetic memory, refers to the ability to vividly recall images, sounds, or objects in great detail after only brief exposure. Those with photographic memory can remember extensive visual information, such as pages of text or complex diagrams, almost as if they can "see" the original image in their mind. While true photographic memory is rare, many people can enhance their memory through techniques and practice. In the context of general knowledge, it allows individuals to retain and retrieve information more effectively, facilitating learning and recall across various subjects.
