Is it possible to develop eidetic memory, if so how can I develop eidetic memory?

Eidetic memory (a.k.a. photographic memory, total recall) is considered by the general run of psychologists and neurologists to be an inborn ability to memorise something in entirety and in (excruciating) detail. The conventional scientific thinking is that the memorisation process is essentially visual. Eidetic memory, if present, is shown in very young children but rarely seen in adults. It is considered inborn because psychologists have not been able to get anyone to acquire this ability other than in those who already exhibited since birth. In other words, you can't train to have photographic memory. Use your phone camera instead -- it's easier.

I honestly don't know if one can be developed. I like to belive that with dedication and desire something close to the ideal can be achieved.

It doesn't matter what you remember, it matters what you know.   Without processor, 1 TB of memory (even Class 10) is useless.

There is no such thing but you can train your memory. Read "Moonwalking with Einstein" to learn how. Awesome book and precisely answers both of these questions.

Sorry, I think a lot of things which people (psychologists, sociologists, other Progressives) claim are genetic in origin, are just an excuse to get out of finding out the real truth about how human beings work. Something wrong? just prescribe a drug - won't fix anything, but it will suppress it. Nearly everything (of course not his physical traits) about a person is environmentally determined, and a person is capable of a lot more than social scientwits will ever "discover." Most of them think that human beings are "talking animals," slightly more intelligent than fish or monkeys. Given that scientwits perceive human beings as smart animals, of course they are going to say that they are as incapable of aspiring to act in any other forms than are defined at birth.

Hi,Thanks for the request.Human Memory will always fluctuate and with anything the more practice you have at your focus then there will be an increase in the ability to manipulate and utilise that focus (memory).In order to train your memory to your potential you really need to know the capabilities of yourself.If you have no faith in yourself then it’s no point in trying to reach a peak in your focus as you have no belief starting with.Flash card games and many memory training puzzles are out there but you need to find the right ones. Your environment is a major factor to your wellbeing and therefore the way your memory and mind associate together will be important.Belief takes you a long way, Thanks.

Not exactly, because photographic memory doesn't exist, but you can learn the method of loci.

There is no such thing as an eidetic memory.  It is a myth.  Human memory doesn't work that way.  You might as well ask how to train yourself to fly.

Well, there are a lot of ways to train to an impressive memory, but an eidetic memory I believe though, improbable to acquire still possible, but, it's a long way to go. Eidetic memory can be defined as a talent not a skill. But, sure yeah, we can still manage to train our mind and have a memory close to eidetic. One of which is the light bulb exercise. You grab a book and get a lamp or a light bulb so to speak. Read one paragraph of the book with lights opened. Then close the lights, try to remember anything you've read in that paragraph without opening the lights. Then after you tried remembering everything, re-open the lights to see if you are right. Rinse-repeat. There are hundreds of ways still. But, again, if you're old enough to get married, it is harder to retain such skill unless with rigorous training and tons of focus.
