Eidetic Memory Psychology

Eidetic memory is actually a type of memory that enables enthralling clarity of recall of each aspect of a particular situation after the fact. This means that memory remains sharp even after a long period of time has elapsed. Such kind of memory can be identified by exposing some individuals to the same circumstance for similar amount of time.

Memory is really a fascinating aspect of human psychology. People, even the best scientists cannot completely comprehend how mind and memory works and how particular events and images remain within the memory while others are actually lost.

Well, there is really no actual understanding with regards to the reason why there are some people who have acute memory capabilities even without any training. Various studies do indicate that the familiarity mostly increases the rate of recall. There are also some devices that used to help people remember things in an improved way.

The Concept of Eidetic Memory Psychology

The eidetic memory psychology is something that has always been caught the attention of many psychological researchers. According to some psychologists, everyone has an eidetic memory; some just do not have film. However, the actual phenomenon isn’t very well understood by the majority of the public. Eidetic memory, otherwise known as photographic memory, is a subject that is not well known or even understood in the industry of neuroscience.

In theory, eidetic memory involves the capability to remember things clearly and so vividly that a particular image can actually retain within the mind. Those individuals with eidetic memory can remember great amount of information with precision or accuracy more superior than any other average person.

The Eidetic Memory Incidence

Most of the reports of eidetic memory generally outweigh the number of individuals who really possess such type of memory. Although rare, there are still a great number of individuals who really have the ability to obtain selective eidetic memory. This only means that they can recall each minute detail of particular events even without the use of devices that are used to improve memory such as the mnemonic devices. An individual with this type of memory can demonstrate that they can remember various details.

According to one of the most prominent and influential theorists within the field of developmental psychology, Vygotsky, many young children depend on eidetic memory in order to help them in remembering things. In adulthood, this theorist also claimed that people are using memory techniques that are replaced by verbal strategies like rehearsing a list of objects mentally.

Some recent studies have also indicated that the eidetic memory of children is not really as universal as he originally perceived. In various experiments, there are only 2 to 15 percent of children has the ability to project an image that they had seen on to a blank easel and appropriately describe them afterwards.

There is also a different perspective on the neurological basis for this type of memory that could explain some of those unanswered queries about the topic. Indeed, the eidetic memory psychology is truly amazing, and it is something that cannot be fully explained by science.
