No. And you wouldn't want to. It would impede your ability to understand the things you see (as opposed to just being able to recall them)

Photographic memory, Eiditic memory, or Total recall.
No. It's a talent that you're born with. Like IQ, you can't develop it. But there's possibility that some people, that said to possess such ability, simply have a highly trained memory, since they spent most of their time walking the path of improvement.

My guess is "negative."
; )
Seriously, as the first answerer said/implied, I think "photographic memory" is just a talent many of us have - it's either there or not. Then again, others may have a knack for mnemonics, where we "photographic memory" people may not have the patience to develop that knack.

Nope. WE all have a different way of learning and retaining information. Some people are fortunate to have a photographic memory. I don't have it . I have more of a fragmented old computer memory.

no, this is impossible, i am a 6th year senior at UW Madison, majoring in phycology, and there is no way to develop photograpic memorization, there actually is no such thing as it, just people whos brains obtain information better with images, and not so good with listening
