The ability to remember a page of text is a phenomenal semantic memory. Some can memorize long text, they have an exceptional memory which can possible be on the area of eidetic memories, but it is not a photographic memory. We need a hook system, but he didnt.īlockquote An eidetic memory exists, everyone has it, some have it better than others. One way or another, our verbal memory has a semantic character. For the average person, this is not possible.
This is the ability to remember words without understanding their meaning. This is a feature of the work of the brain, characteristic of people with pathologies of the work of the brain, in particular, savants.
Although Peek’s memory was very different from ours. Of course, in this case, it could not be photographic. His memory was very strong, but by no means perfect. He often confused digital data and frankly refused to answer questions. Anyone who has studied his personality with great interest knows that although Kim Peek’s memory was delicious, it was not ideal. I read about Kim Peeke in “Moonwalking with Enstein” and also talked about his memory with experts. I included the following short biography of the Rain Man in the website. Now I almost never rely on the “photographs” except for the occasional accidental one.īlockquote A year or so, ago, I created a website, about memory, for an English class assignment. I begain studying mnemonics at age 16 and am 65 now. Things that I have cursively written I can see and better recall. Suddenly I realized I could tell her what line number she was on on the page as she read the whole page, but could rarely finish her sentences It was sort of like a “recognition only” photograph in my mind. In class my professor is quoting a long passage in the play that covers an entire page. I used to do something remarkable dont know if I can still do it, and I am not a good case because I am a mnemonics expert. Now imagine this magnified x100 and you have eidetic or photographic memory. The most remarkable part is that it is often something that one did not intend to remember it was just incidental. It’s about a 5 second latency before you “see” it in your mind. Many people have it to a minor extent, like a number written on a piece of paper that you saw but say you cannot remember it, but then suddenly in your mind you “see” the number. I have a bit of it myself, but I like to joke that my photographic memory is low on pixels. Neither person had ever heard of mnemonics, or memory palaces I knew one lady in the 90s and one lady in college in the 1970s.
