Most people have probably heard of a \u201cphotographic memory,\u201d which is the ability to take a mental snapshot of something detailed, such as a page of a book, and recall it in perfect detail. How does that work, considering everything we\u2019ve learned about the memory so far?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It probably doesn\u2019t work\u2014there\u2019s no scientific evidence to back up the existence of a photographic memory. <\/strong>Only one case of a photographic memory was ever recorded in scientific literature, and the research has some holes in it. A Harvard student named Elizabeth could allegedly look at a pattern of random dots with her right eye, then a different pattern with her left eye, and then mentally layer the dots on top of each other, which formed an image where the dots overlapped (similar to a \u201cMagic Eye\u201d stereogram). However, the validity of these test results was called into question when the scientist who studied her, Charles Stromeyer III, married her and she was never tested again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Merritt, another researcher, tried to duplicate the study with others. He published the two-dot test in newspapers and magazines, hoping he\u2019d find someone who could do the same thing Elizabeth had. People responded, but once in a lab, none of them could do it. This is the main difference between photographic and eidetic memory: we can prove eidetic memories exist, but not photographic memory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eidetic memories, however, are real.<\/strong> People who have eidetic memories can remember images longer than the average person, but not in more detail than the average person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can We Improve Our Memories?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know the difference between photographic and eidetic memory, the next question is whether or not these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/types-of-human-memories\/\">types of memories<\/a> can tell us anything about improving memory. If our brains are naturally good at remembering certain things and naturally bad at remembering others, is there anything we can do to improve our memories? Is memory like vision or height\u2014you\u2019re stuck with what you\u2019ve got\u2014or more like a skill you can improve? For a long time, scientists thought our memory abilities were fixed, but in a study that took place from 1981-1983, K. Anders Ericsson and Bill Chase found that<strong> people can train and improve their memories.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ericsson and Chase tested the memory of SF. <strong>SF took digit span tests, which measure a person\u2019s ability to hold numbers in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/improve-working-memory-moonwalking-with-einstein\/\">working memory<\/a>,<\/strong> for 250 hours over two years. In the test, someone reads out a new number every second and the test subject must remember the sequence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Initially, SF, like most people, could only remember about seven digits.<\/strong> He remembered them by chanting them over and over to himself, which is called a phonological loop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, however, he came up with a new method. <strong>SF was a runner, so he started thinking of the random digits as running times.<\/strong> For example, 4, 1, 1, 9 became 4 minutes and 11.9 seconds, the time it might take him to run a mile. Using this method, <strong>by the end of the testing, SF could remember over 70 digits.<\/strong> (There\u2019s more on this technique, called chunking, in part 2.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: To learn more about how to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/mental-representation\/\">mental representations<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/improve-your-skills\/\">improve your skills<\/a> in a variety of fields, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/peak\/1-page-summary\">read our summary of K.

However, many scientists wonder if people with eidetic memories can give clues about improving and preserving memories. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the difference between photographic and eidetic memory?
