Is it possible to gain a photographic memory and how should I go about getting one?

Answer 1

Hey Perfect Stranger !

May i suggest you read some of the book by Tony Buzan. I totally amazed myself at how i could memorise items; and do insanely long multiplications in my head.

All the best :-)

BTW: you may not wish for a "true" photographic memory, there was a lady in a recent news report who could remember every virtually every detail about every moment of her life... including every licence plate she had ever seen. It was driving her crazy.

Answer 2

its not possible to get a photographic memory. u are actually born with it or it develops naturally. its something to do with the way YOUR brain in particalur reacts to and proccesses picture information. u could, however, work hard at getting a good memory by playing memory games and memory tests and the such. i guess that would come close right? although... if im proven wrong, let me know lol.

Answer 3

Photographic memory demonstrates the minds ability to "replay" images as if they were actually happening. This can be done by capturing and remembering a "trigger" image. Pause and remember what you are seeing and why you are seeing it and then look away. Now try and reference the image you were supposed to remember. After a little training you should be able remember something that happened and all the details by simply remembering that "trigger" image and why you are remembering it.

Answer 4

already answered...just use a trigger for your memory and look up a few tricks...regarding true "photgraphic memory" I doubt it...u r born with it or u r not and it is rare...if u had it u would probably be a genius or insane or on Jerry Springer...the best exponent of photographic memory was nicholas tesla...look him up

Answer 5

I get my photographic memory at Best Buy. They have most sizes to fit your digital camera.
I think it hard to do this, but, I not think it impossible. You may have to try concentrating more about what you want to remember.
