So does anyone know how to develop a photographic memory lol? I really want good memory so it can be useful for future uses and such and it would be fun to brag about it haha

[aznsweetie143]

I don't think photographic memory is something you can develop - it's something you're born with.

[CaramelSweetie]

play the memory game on the DS? lulz iono
I think it's something your born with too, but I guess you can "train" yourself to remember stuff easier..or faster.

Agreed.

I think you should just practice remembering things it can be much more helpful with a better memory.
Like eating fruits and vegetables of course and playing sudoku, crossword, etc. since they are to prevent alzheimer's disease. Besides having a photographic memory is nothing to brag about since there are things you would wish you would not see.

You can improve your memory, but it's impossible to develop photographic memory if you weren't born with it. That's like asking your body to grow another leg.

If you're not born with it, then no. But I know there was a celebrity who has it. She was playing baseball and the ball hit her head, and ever since then, she had a photogenic memory.

LMAO best answer.

aww these replies make me feel sad that i was not born with such a gift...:' (

Some interesting stuff i read from wiki:

Swami Vivekananda, famous Indian philosopher and guru. It was recorded in The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda that he had memorized ten volumes of encyclopedia in very few days.[7] He explains his powers as "simply by the observance of strict Brahmacharya (continence) all learning can be mastered in a very short time -- one has an unfailing memory of what one hears or knows but once".

and

Stephen Wiltshire, MBE, is a prodigious savant,[10] capable of drawing the entire skyline of a city after a helicopter ride.

and

Hans von Bülow was a 19th century pianist and conductor with what could be described as a perfect musical memory. He could play both Brahms' and Beethoven's entire piano works from memory, and conducted the first performance of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde without the score, having never heard it before but studying the score pre-emptively, which was enough for him to memorise a work — he did not need to hear it.

crazy stuff

I'll sell you my photogrpahic memory. I saw some bad things as a kid so I want it gone =(. Make me an offer.

[Melody93]

[skycheerio<3]

I remember my childhood.. everydetail
But I don't have a photographic memory.
It takes me forever to memorize anything from school..

Lol. Maybe.

[missmoobear]

i think its something you're born with. o3o
my sister has it but i don't. xD
i have to make tunes to remember stuff.

[diarc123]

It's possible that you can train your brain to encode more information at once. I was rigorously trained on that from 7th grade. At highschool, memorizing stuff was a synch. You have to practice.

[joxxy]

I agree with everyone that said that photographic memory is something you're born with.

My professor once said his girlfriend's friend in college had a photographic memory and totally took advantage of it throughout all her years of school. But when it came to a class that tested on understanding instead of memorization, she totally failed to do so. She relied precisely on her photographic memory to memorize theories and such but didn't take the time to understand.

But I still with I had photographic memory :[
