06-03-2023-1144 - Eidetic memory, etc. (draft)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Eidetic)

Eidetic memory (/ˈdɛtɪk/ eye-DET-ik; also known as photographic memory and total recall) is the ability to recall an image from memory with high precision—at least for a brief period of time—after seeing it only once[1] and without using a mnemonic device.[2]

Although the terms eidetic memory and photographic memory are popularly used interchangeably,[1] they are also distinguished, with eidetic memory referring to the ability to see an object for a few minutes after it is no longer present[3][4] and photographic memory referring to the ability to recall pages of text or numbers, or similar, in great detail.[5][6] When the concepts are distinguished, eidetic memory is reported to occur in a small number of children and is generally not found in adults,[3][7] while true photographic memory has never been demonstrated to exist.[6][8]

The word eidetic comes from the Greek word εἶδος (pronounced [êːdos], eidos) "visible form".[9]
