![]() ![]() Each commenter on Quora mentions their memory isn’t photographic to the point that they can instantaneously recall memories. While there’s no question whether eidetic memory is real, it’s unclear to what extent. I recall the sounds (but not the meaning) of the conversation, the details of the room, and how I comprehended certain features that seemed to make no sense as a child of that age, but would be completely sensible to someone older.” Other commenters with photographic memory, which is also known as eidetic memory, say they’re able to recall basically anything they’ve read, from navigational directions to class notes. “I can remember as a baby - less than a year old - being bathed in the kitchen sink after dinner.
