Mental Photography also promotes hemispheric balancing and hence greater neuro-efficiency (synchronicity between the left and right hemispheres) through our whole-brain learning techniques. This results in enormous neuroplasticity benefits which enable your brain to build more efficient neural connections and increase in volume. During mental photography, all brain wave states are maximally activated simultaneously. Mental Photography, a core component of Brain Management training, uses the eidetic memory and is the most powerful brain exercise ever created. Brain Management uses specific exercises to strengthen our pathways between the conscious and subconscious mind and gain access to events in memory in the clarity with which they occurred. A direct analogy is the retina only picking up a fraction of the light in front of us even though the entire spectrum exists. Why? The definition of eidetic is based upon recall. Recall of a memory for many people, generally adults, may not be with the exactness with which the event occurred, even though the information is available to them.Įidetic memory training is the best way to enhance memory. Many studies have demonstrated all children to possess eidetic/photographic recall memory. Photographic memory, then, would be the visual component of eidetic recall. ![]() There is no difference between the two when they are used in this way.Įtymologically speaking, the difference between is that an eidetic memory refers to the ability to recall memories as they occurred in every sense with great accuracy. Because visual intake of information is a major stimulus in humans, some began referring to eidetic recall as ‘photographic’, which is also more readily relatable to the general person and hence often came to be used. Initially ‘eidetic’ was used in psychology circles, however, it did not have widespread understanding for the lay person. Photographic memory, of course, is defined as memory recall with the exactness of a photograph.Ĭonvention and etymology have come to define the differences today.Ĭonvention has led to the terms ‘eidetic memory’ and ‘photographic memory’ used interchangeably. It is concluded that we should not abandon work on eidetic imagery or simply force it into a preconceived mold of what memory must be, but rather, expand work on the phenomenological indicators of perception and memory.Our Brain Management training is unique in the ability to both define in a practical sense and utilize the eidetic memory and photographic memory recall.Įidetic, from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is defined as marked by or involving extraordinarily accurate and vivid recall especially of visual images. The evidence in the present review casts doubt on this hypothesis on numerous grounds: an extensive longitudinal study over the entire span of elementary school years found that eidetic abilities remain remarkably stable there is no correlation between eidetic imagery and abstract thinking or reading performance there is no higher incidence in preschool ages, among retarded or brain-injured subjects, or among illiterate subjects in crosscultural studies. The negative correlation between eidetic imagery and age has prompted hypotheses to explain eidetic imagery as a developmentally less mature memorial representation, which is gradually replaced by more abstract representations as the child acquires abstract thought, reading, and more advanced cognitive abilities. However, extensive research has failed to demonstrate consistent correlates between the presence of eidetic imagery and any cognitive, intellectual, neurological, or emotional measure. The criteria for differentiating eidetic images from nonvisual memorial representations include: reports of seeing an image projected onto a surface in space, the consistent use of present tense when reporting images as opposed to past tense when reporting from nonvisual memory, and the ability to superimpose two images and report the composite image.Įidetic images are only available to a small percentage of children 6–12 years old, and are virtually nonexistent in adults. According to the criteria for differentiating eidetic images from afterimages, eidetic images should occur even when saccadic eye movements are made during exposure to the stimulus it should be possible to make saccadic eye movements while one is reporting the image without the image also moving the image should last long, and it should be positive. The presence of eidetic imagery is inferred from reports of persisting visual images of stimuli when they are no longer in view. This paper is a theoretical analysis of eidetic imagery, based upon the author's ten-year study of elementary-school-aged children. ![]()
