Eidetic memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Photographic memory, eidetic memory, or total recall, is the ability to recall images, sounds, or objects in memory with great accuracy and in seemingly unlimited volume. |
 | | Support for the belief that eidetic memory could be a myth was supplied by the psychologist Adriaan de Groot, who conducted an experiment into the ability of chess Grandmasters to memorize complex positions of chess pieces on a chess board. |
 | | Yet another example of fictional accounts of eidetic memory is the main character in the movie "Powder." This character, Jeremy 'Powder' Reed, played by Sean Patrick Flanery, has many abilities, and among these is an eidetic memory which he uses to recite a page from the Bible when asked by another character. |
