Well, I’ve always wondered if I had a sharp memory–or a photographic memory.

I’m not quite sure.

For example, I can just look at a page and then I see a few of the paragraphs perfectly as if I were looking at it from the actual page. But the thing is, that part of it is sort of just.. blurred. Usually towards the bottom.

Now, would that be categorized as a sharp memory or photographic?

Anything you know about this would be great! ;]

photographic memory?
My senior seminar teacher was talking about all kinds of ways to study and that everyone learns differently.
He said that there are ways that if you don’t have photographic memory that you can pay lots of money to learn it.
How can you do that?
thank you.

I’d prefer something concrete, but speculation is welcome. I was going to try memorizing a simple scene once every day. Some sort of cartoon, or something like that. something simple. then i was going to move to more complex things, and eventually actual pictures.

Does this seem like a good idea, or a bad one?

Any advice, or techniques?

I’ve been very interested in people who are well different lately. Not different like wierd different like cool different. So I was just wondering - do you have photographic memory? If you do, what kinds of things do you use it for? And another question.. if you have it, what does the picture look like in your brain.. do you have to close your eyes to see it? or is it kind of like a daydream where you can have your eyes open and "see" it but not see it at the same time if you know what i mean.

thanks for any answers!

I’m really stuck on this question, and I need the answer. Please send me an answer, an explanation, and a source. I will choose the best answer out of that basis.

Don’t say it can’t be done. I’ve seen people who have done it, to an extent.

people keep saying i have a photographic memory but idk what that is could some one explain that to me?

I can easily recall many lines of text, numbers, and "see" pictures. Although my vision is not great and I have needed glasses since the age of 11. I remember plain events (not just special ones) with clarity for many years afterwards.

Anyone know any good sites of have any good tips?
I’ve looked up online for tips but i just get asked for money to buy books .

Are there different types of photographic memory?
