What is the best way to develop a photographic memory?

Answer 1

Is there such a thing as "photographic memory"?
From Straight Dope:

To some extent the ability to remember can be learned, although the result isn't photographic memory but simply improved recall. Even mnemonists, known for impressive feats of memory, enhance their native talent with tricks. One famous case was S., described by the Russian psychologist A.R. Luria. Among other things S. had an exceptional ability to retain things long after he'd originally memorized them. Once he was read the first four lines of Dante's The Divine Comedy in Italian, a language he did not understand. He was immediately able to recite the entire passage--and more impressively, he could still do so on command 15 years later, with no advance warning.

How had he done it? He associated each syllable with a mental image. The first line, Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita, he rendered into images this way: Nel, Nel'skaya, a ballerina; mezzo, she is together with (Russian vmeste) a man; del, there is a pack of Deli cigarettes near them; cammin, a fireplace (Russian kamin) is also close by; di, a hand is pointing toward a door (Russian dver); nos, a man has fallen and gotten his nose (Russian nos) pinched in a doorway (Russian tra); vita, the man steps over a child, a sign of life--vitalism; and so on, for 48 syllables. It's all just a mnemonic trick, right? Sure, and for Michael Jordan it was the shoes.
