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. |
 | | Marvin Minsky, in his book The Society of Mind, was unable to verify claims of eidetic memory (see sections 15.3 and 15.6) and considered reports of eidetic memory to be an "unfounded myth". |
 | | 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 memorise complex positions of chess pieces on a chess board. |
