Eidetic memory, also known as photographic memory, is the ability to recall images, sounds, or objects in memory with high precision and in abundant detail. It is a rare phenomenon that has been studied by psychologists and neuroscientists for many years. Eidetic memory is often associated with children, but adults can also possess this ability. People with eidetic memory are able to remember and recall information with great accuracy, as if they had taken a photograph of the scene.
