“There are people out there who can remember almost every detail of what they did on a random day ten years ago. But is it possible to have an actual photographic memory, whether developed by nature or nurture? Here's the truth.”
When Memories Never Fade, The Past Can Poison The Present

“On Feb. 21, Alexandra Wolff ate steak, mashed potatoes and broccoli for dinner. Later that night, sitting in her room, she spent 20 minutes scanning pictures in InStyle magazine.”

I have a horrible memory, I cannot remember crap I just learned.
You are not the only one.
Με τοο, i cant even remember why Im writing this..
*drools over the keyboard*
Lmao!

"Even the shirt that she wore at Target".
That, kids, is called hidden advertisement.
Jayslollipop that explains why I am at target right now
But what explains why we all watched this video?
william arney The title. It sounds interesting, like you're going to learn the secrets of the universe but really she blabers for 3 in a half minutes and throws hidden advertisements. At the end of the video all she really said is that we don't know yet.
I didn't even notice she said that, I just heard the usefull parts.
It's everywhere...
I was told I had a photographic memory in 10th grade when a teacher caught me reading my history book in my head during the test after he let us scan our notes and books before the test. He watched me scan each page the same way, even being distracted by noisy neighbors, and then when the test came, he watched as I looked up and to the left and my eyes went back and forth as if reading while I scanned the text (in my head) for answers. He said this was rare and I always assumed that everyone could do this. As I've aged this ability is fuzzy though still there. I wish I could bring it back to the clarity it was at as a teen, though, the side effect is I remember my childhood in excruciatingly detailed short movies. When I recall something, I recall all the emotions and discomfort as strongly as I was in it. Doesn't work as well for joy though. :/
+Adib Tanjeem I don't think I'm disordered, but I'm sure you're just using a clinical definition. I wouldn't trade my autism for anything. It's who I am. I do, however, wish I had more support growing up and a better home life. I think I would have done better at life without the insane insecurity my mother's bullshit created. Oh, and I don't feel lucky. I don't think it's logical to assume anyone is better than anyone else. Walk through my front door and you'll be treated the same as the president or my family. No one is special or lucky or more valuable than anyone else. And normal? Who determines normal when we've only tapped into less than 1% of the universes knowledge? No, I wouldn't want to conform to societies views of normal. I never have and I never will. I'm a 38 yo college student with 4 kids, a mohawk and a past of 100 lifetimes. When you start regretting, you stop living.
your high as fuck
I'm like you I can do anything in my head but my teachers force me to read a lousy text book talk about teachers wanting kids to use there brains...pfft
+HedgehogandRabbit don't think there's such thing as savant in "spatial reasoning" lol. savants are normally identified with things that don't require thought.
+Glenn Quagmire Well, tell my cognitive analyst that. I broke the test on spatial reasoning, it's considered savantism. And how would spatial reasoning require thought? You just look and know whether something is askew or would fit or any number of related things. It takes 0 thought. Well, for me it does.
I realized that if you treat all information as super novel (meaning you basically act like you're 2 years old when you see it) and strain your brain to depict all aspects of the information, like you're seeing it for the first time... You're memory of things can go from like 20% to 85%. It's amazing.
If you pay attention to everything, nothing will ever get past you. You have to be super curious about every detail. Think in this order: Color; sound; smell; quantity; relate; peripheral.
So say you see a random poster on the wall in the mall. Most people will walk past it, because it's not too important. But you have to treat it like it's the most beautiful thing ever. So first notice all the colors. What color is this, this and this. Then pay attention to EVERYTHING you are hearing and smelling (specifically)and capture that moment. Then find out the quantity of things in that picture. (If it is a picture of a city, how many cars? How many people? If it's a picture of a woman, how many colors is she wearing? What kind of earrings?) Then you relate what you see to something else you know. (Oh this city looks like New York, there are 8 cars in this picture, 8 = ate. I 'ate' a New York pizza in a 'car'.) And then finally, what is in your peripheral vision? Is it your couch? People walking by? How many people?
All this may seem like a lot, but only really takes 5 - 10 seconds. Every little detail normal people skip over, you have to see for the first time, EVERY time. Things like turning a door knob (how interested would a 2 year old be turning a door knob for the first time?), putting on your shoes, opening your laptop, every word in a book has to spark your imagination. Every little thing you do has to be a grand event, and must not pass or bore your attention. Doing this every day for a month or 2 will engrave it into your brain, and it will become natural and involuntary. This will eliminate bad memory all together, and you will NEVER lose anything ever again. This will also make your life seem to go by much slower as you are capturing more experiences as grand moments instead of dull moments.
wow! This really astonished me!!
+General Sarasota not tooting my own horn but i totaly understand where your coming from with this, i think im just super observant but i also do it with conversation, i can recall conversations from when i was 7 like word for word, i wouldnt say remembering everything you are told is a good thing, people dont like it when you say hey didnt you say 6 months ago *i say something they said* only to be told they didnt say it, and when i know they did, i can recall the month and almost the day and i can recall exactly where i/they were sitting or standing and everything about that situation, and they just look at me funny.
i dont quiet understand my memory other than im extremely observant, i dont think about it, untill someone contradicts the shit out of themselfs then i remember, most of the time i shut my mouth, and i can go more in depth aswell to how there room was arranged and everything, i also remember the house i lived in with my parents when i was 4, dad always said im just like my mother i should just find an easy job (hes always put me down because he thinks im a dumb shit ) i didnt care about school and to him if you do good at school that makes you smart, anyway i drew the layout of that house wrote down that houses phone number and the car that they drove and the number plate,where they parked the car, the layout of the shed you get the point, aswell as half the neighbors fences like the wood/bricks, to where mum chucked my sisters pacifier, he said after i showed him the drawings( like blueprints) how do you remember all of that, my answer was idk i just do.... since that day he hasnt talked down to me, by the way im 25 and told him 8 months ago or so hahahaha bout time ey -.-
i can relate to this post on so many lv's its ridiculous, this is what i must be doing subconsciously all the time its a gift and a curse :/ sorry about the lengthy reply
Take my like! :D
I got things to do bro
Not true, I remember facts about my life at 2 years old my parents have confirmed. Whatever studies were done, won't apply to a lot of people.
Who else thought of Lexie Grey while watching this?
who didn't think of lexi grey?
rip
who's lexi grey?
lexi gray is life
Yes and the blonde girl from that old disney show Ant Farm
Was this video blurry for anyone else, or are my eyes just worse than I thought?
Yeah they either forget to refocus the camera when zoomed in on her face or they just got lazy and zoomed in on her face post recording
Massacre1080 They should have pulled a zoom and enhance. Opportunity missed.
I think, the aperture number was too small, what means, that the area in focus was just some cm, and Julia has moved a lot, from the focus area.
Yeah, it seams to be somenthing wrong with the focus.
It's so that you remember it better :)
I forgot what i was going to write.
This is glorious, I've been looking for "semi eidetic memory" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Danvelyn Niyameron Magic - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my partner got excellent success with it.
This is hilarious
lmao
You could have not write anything else.
*What does write mean again?*
I can't remember words but i can easily remember facts and strories.
Rex Royulada like everyone else
? Really? It is way easier to remember words for me. I can still memorize facts and stories, but it is easier to remember words because of their colors
Bruh what's a strory? XD
It's weird cause I can remember alot of what I learned about history but no math, chemistry or classes like that. My memory when it comes to history and stories about past events is really good, but not when it pertains to math.
Me too and I can see a picture but not well
I have a videographic memory...
Same. I already recorded this video with my eye and uploading to my channel.
iXbeXy My nigga .
Justin C Marsden that's cute...
No i was being serious, it is how my brain works. For an example i don't just picture an object but visualise the interaction with it.
Justin C Marsden ru serious. yes i have that to if a see machine i go inside it and visulize it and see how it works. sick
if i write something down , the act of writing it down helps me . if i cant remember the actual information i wrote down , i can visualize the page and visualize myself writing and remember what i wrote that way .
Same
So that's what people are talking about. I keep getting suggestions to do this but my mind's eye is too fuzzy for something as small as text.
me too. I end up remembering the pictures in my book rather than the words. lmao
Photographic memory is a very very special skill to people you can just literally look at everything that your teacher wrote in the board and just sleep at class and just do it at home.
so lawyers like Mike Ross do not exist... too bad!
+Mien lol I was thinking the same thing!
+Mien bt still beleive he exist.
+Mina it would be super cool if that's possible. Memorizing every bylaws, every clients you've worked with and their cases... my god
+romen dcruz finally people who watch suits
Only reason I came here
I have an uncle with a photographic memory. It would drive my mom nuts growing up as she had to study and he didn't. She could hold one of his books and ask him to "read" a specific page and line and he could look it up in his head and read it off. So he only had to ever read things once for school purposes. Also just as an FYI both my mother and uncle are geniuses and have aspergers too, so their brains aren't exactly normal to start out with.
Okay lol keep using it as an “excuse”
Ya ok
when i write something in my book and i go to the exam room i try and picture the page i wrote it..that's why i never print my notes
Lol thats what i do. You aren't alone with that one m8
xuisd _ I'm not the only one :')
Yep, I would go into many exams with my notes etched into my head. The most I remembered might have been 15 solid pages.
Yeah, After I learn my notes, When I go to the exam room, I literally remember the whole page . From top to bottom, And I really love it
I had this ability when I was a kid. I'd answer exam questions by "reading" down the page in my mind's eye. But as I got older, I was told not to use my memory but to understand what I was learning. So I changed the way I studied and eventually lost this ability. :(
is it just me, or is the camera out of focus?
I don't remember
It's not you, it is slightly. Amateur.
Clint Favor Change your Display Settings (PC) to a better Quality or your UA-cam app/website had set your video to play on a low quality (probably 144p/240p etc.)
Everytime she leans forward it's out of focus.
Rakichi Serizawa He's talking about the cam focus not about the playback quality moron.
I went to high school with a girl who had photographic memory. She would be able to look at a book once and recall word for word every sentence and photo and everything... she just graduated from Harvard
It’s almost cheating
It is! If they don’t have that faucet flowing they’re screwed.
My memory is shit but I seem to remember things when I need to.
If in grade 2 i argued with someone about Hippos and they said hippos weighted 700 kg whether is was right or wrong if someone asked me how much hippos weigh 20 years later my brain would just have 700 bouncing around. If they asked me how i know I'd probably say someone told me but really im just guessing whats most likely.
Anyone else like that?
same
+Alon Asaf Yeah, most people are like that. That's why people mis-remember things so much, they rarely remember where or when they learned something so the memory becomes confused with other memories, it's not put into perspective to begin with.
I have 10 second memory
Well, i have 4 second memory👌🏻
@@pluffie6615 you should use *mind palace*
How you survive?
I was having a conversation with friends and we were talking about how sometimes I feel actual physical pain when I remember certain events, or how it feels like I'm touching or being touched when it's memory that has to do with touch. In the group it seem as if I was the only one who experienced memories like that while most of them remember the image associated with the memory
I remember every single detail of a stressful event and humorous event. I'm an expert witness to situations I come across and have helped the cops out in the past. To me it's a survival tactic since I was little. Long story to explain as to why, but it saved my life more than once.
I know 50 digits of pi.
I memorised it by putting the numbers to the Twinkle Twinkle song:
3.14159,
2653589,
7932384,
and so on...
now i just recite it sort of like the alphabet; I don't need to sing it, the numbers just flow.
When I play something on piano or flute, once I can play it, I just automatically remember it to the note for months afterwards.
Peter Davies there is an error in there
Uhsb Wyhwj what's the error?
Peter Davies im sure that one of the 5's is supposed to be 6,check the calculator.

Peter, that is called muscle memory. Actually, when you play the piano and try to remember the song ( not just go autopilot ) you might find yourself struggling.
I've read a lot on this topic and attended a few neurology lectures about the human brain and its capacities and limitations. I'm a financial analyst and I've always been heavily focused on math and math memory. I've wondered about the huge edge a photographic memory would give its owner in my field. A down to earth neurologist once told me that he breaks superior memory into three concurring elements. First, memory is a matter of general intelligence. Second, he said that there are all kinds of amazing memory models, like "chunking," that can bring about amazing results. He boiled that down to practicing your memory. Finally, and surprising to me, he noted the power of interest. Human fascination has an enormous range. Some people have few interests and some are generally taken by nearly every type of stimuli. To sum...very smart, lots of practice and large areas of interest. As of my knowledge, no one has ever been medically tested and officially labelled as having a photographic memory. Just my silly thoughts. Thank you all.
Its an amazing subject to be sure. Three articles I've read indicate a photographic memory does exist in some. 1-During WWII, an American Soldier in a Japanese POW camp planning escape, could look at a map stolen for only a few seconds from the guard shack office and later draw it from memory in detail. 2-On Dec 4 1960, George Koltanowski played blindfold chess against 56 opponents, he was allowed only ten seconds per move. He won 50 and drew 6. 3- But the memory feat that surpasses them all is that of the late Mr. Kim Peek.(here on YT) He was a mega savant. While severely limited motor skills were obvious(he could not dress himself according to Kim's biography by his dad Fran) his memory had virtually no limits. Kim memorized city phone books for fun. If your name had ever been listed in a directory that he had seen and he was introduced to you, he had your ph# and address instantly. Test revealed that when Kim read a novel, his left eye scanned the left page, his right the right page simultaneously from top to bottom in about 8 seconds. He had over a 98% recall accuracy of all his reading or scanning(including the page number) from any book ever read from childhood on. He could not reason analytically or do math. He had also audio-tone or musical note recall. If listening to a classical concert even one note was omitted he knew it at once. The movie "The Rain Man" -Dustin Hoffman-is loosely based on the amazing Kim Peek.
I am not autistic nor have any other (known) abilities and/or advantages. I can however look at my blinds, then envision what I just saw and count exactly how many bars on my blinds. I also did this with a tree branch and was able to count how many leaves there were as well as windows on a building- just by glancing at it once.
If I focus my eyes on one thing for 5 secs, I remember every detail but forget everything in 3 secs
😂😂

I came here to listen to music and somehow I ended up here one hour later,
but nvm Im gonna subscribe cause they are cool

Me: learns something
My memory: ya i got it
The next day
Me: trying to recall
My memory: ya imma head out
Look at “Bijaya Shahi” from Nepal. He can read and memorize 1000 of pages less than 15 mins.
I used to be able to replay entire anime episodes in my head as a child to keep me entertained. I never needed much outside stimulation because I would just live in my head replaying events, T.V. shows, and video games in my head. Can't do all that anymore though.
Pocket Brain
Jk
I visualize everything i study at school. It's a really good way to remember all that formulas or poems
same here
If I have used some memory trick, it probably wasn't very good because I can't remember it.
I was tested as having an about average memory in school. I used to be able to remember lists with up to twenty- two items as well as their order. But now, I just remember details of events, times and rooms. As long as I know what time it is, I can tell you in detail how something happened, when and where. Weird, I know. But my family know I can do that, so they will ask me to recant a certain event when they need to remember but can not.
I wanna know more about phonographic memory... I can remember what I hear as if it was an MP3 recorded in my brain, and from talking to everyone else, that's unusual and basically like a photographic memory for sound. I actually have a theory that this type of memory is linked with people who have perfect pitch since it's simple to remember the sound of a particular pitch for someone with this ability, and in everyone I've met who has either ability, myself included, they can actually do both.
Such people were called "Srutidhara" in Sanskrit.
My father has an amazing memory. He once read an encyclopedia for fun and some people noticed, so they decided to test him on it. He had a 97% retention of the information in the book.
Meanwhile here I am forgetting the fact that entire conversations even happened literally seconds after they end. :\
I mean at least you remembered this cool fact
I've been playing the piano since I was 10, I'm now 15, almost 16. I've only taken piano for 2 years and I stopped due to financial issues, but I've been learning pieces off of UA-cam using piano synthesias. After learning a song, I'm able to remember how to play every note only after a few tries. For example, I learned Kyle Landry's Colors of the Wind composition after a few days. I think this might be a gift, and I'm thinking that if I start taking lessons again, I can turn into something great.
this brings me to tell about one of mysteries that i had experienced. When i was a child, i would have some sort of memory flash back, seeing myself in a place i never knew or been before. But then years passed and suddenly i was in that moment, that specific feeling, that location and it would trigger the memory that i had as a child where i saw myself in this present moment.
This happened until i was 12 or 13 years old, and then it stopped. I always had this feeling that i'm repeating this life again, that i was on this earth before i became me again. I also have very good memory, for instance i sometimes mention things to my family about things i did as a little boy, and they seem to be in shock and say, "really you can still remember that, you were a boy?". The only odd thing is that i'm in my late 20's and i still can recall childhood memories in detail.
I have pretty bad memory for short-term things and some other types of long-term things but for some reason I remember completely random pointless events in detail from like 10 years ago. I'm not sure why. Like stupid things like my friend in school singing a song from an ad at a certain area of the yard when I was like 7 then I'll forget the name of the teacher from that year of school I was in.
The dumber events are, the easier you'll remember them.
I use mnemonics. I have pi to the 100th digit and I don't store phone numbers anymore. Got them all in my head. About 50 or 60 as of now. The problem is if someone changes their number I can't "erase" the old one anymore.
Are you a cat? This is how cats memory work.
I have this...it sometimes freaks people out. I remember everything from 2 years on. If I read it, hear it, or see it, it gets stored. I actually passed into the 3rd with limited reading skills as I could remember everything someone read. I had a tutor that had to constantly provide new books as I would memorize any old ones. My mind is never still either. Anything from a smell to a gesture makes anything I associate with it rush in. I don't try to do these things. I just do. I didn't realize that everyone wasn't like this until I was an adult.
I close my eyes and make a shuffling noise. It gives me the feel of rifling through paper pictures and allows me to recall more easily what I need at a particular moment.
I guess I kept my eidetic memory from childhood. I never studied for test in school. When test time came i would see images in my mind of what the teacher taught and get 90-100 on all my tests. It works amazingly for me remembering people faces and the places I met them but I'm horrible at remembering there name or number of i got it
Their are some things I'd like to forget,

This is how my forgetfulness started.
Like when your uncle touched your peepee when he was drunk
i remember when i was born, not the delivery cause my eyes were closed, but being in the hospital, colors didn't standout to me as a baby, except yellow and black,i remember tv shows and conversations. sometimes watching tv or seeing a picture of something ,can bring a early memory up with graphic detail. is there anyone else like that ?
I remember every detail when I draw something. All it takes is copying off a picture once or twice and I remember EVERYTHING.
Complete photographic memory sounds awesome, I hope we can connect our brain to a SD card to store memory, or something like that.
And btw, remembering something doesn't mean you have to think of it all the time
No but imagine fighting in war with that or witnessing something traumatic, ptsd is real and photorealistic ptsd sounds a little worse don’t you think.
I am VERY reliant on my visual memory. When I study I try to remember information with a combination of visuals and abstract information. I try to associate the information with an image. Thankfully, professors often keep notes from lectures in power-slides that sometimes come with images, and I can associate the image with the information on the slide. Often times, I make up an image to associate with the information. It's almost like a very basic mind palace where, instead of a room, I use a mental photo album to retrieve information, which is where people might confuse it with photographic memory.
I have photographic memory, I work at a bread company called schmidt and there is no signs to stage the bread, and my boss showed me one time where everything goes and I remember it through my eyes.
I noticed that most good artist can absolutely draw anything with amazing accuracy
Me who memorized the songs 100 digits of pi, satisfied, rap god, guns and ships, and alphabetic aerobics from reading the lyrics once👁👄👁
damn flex but understandable

everyone can do that 🤣🤣
@@tkph0328 they said "from reading the lyrics once"

I still remember when i readed a book in my head without looking at it.
I was never much of a reader in school, I listened made notes for study and that severed me well. I do luminosity and memory is my lowest but not in comparison.
This is a shock to me.
Thank you for reminding me about that series

_PART OF MY CHILDHOOD._
I used to have a photographic memory when I was young, a kid. It just started fading slowly without me even noticing it, now my photographic memory is really weak, blurry and almost non existent. I still remember REALLY vivid memories from my childhood like regular days with nothing special and many pages from primary school but now I can't memorize new things at all, I really hope I can get my memory back bc it would be really helpful and cool :")
Me too what's the reason behind losing it?
I remember certain events around the time I was 12-18 months old. They aren't anything someone could have told me about, just amazing discoveries I remember, like one summer morning my dad had the back door open and was nailing something down at the door, the sun was shining in and I couldn't 'see' my dad I could see his outline in shillouette but as to the colour of his hair and clothes I couldn't see. Another was I was heading out the front door with my mum and it was raining so hard and because I was small I could see the rain hitting the pavement and bouncing back up again like a ball. There are a few other memories of this time. I know my age as we moved to a brand new house when I was 18 months old, and the memories are of the old place.
By the time I was 8 years old (I have 3 brothers who are 7,8 and 9 years older than I) my brother age 15 was studying Tam O' Shanter by Robert Burns for his exams and I picked up the book he was trying to learn the poem from, took one look at the poem, put the book down and recited the poem back to him; to say he was shocked would be an understatement. He looked at me as though I'd grown 3 heads or had performed some sort of black magic in front of him!!
By the time it came for me to sit my exams, I remember all my friends at home busy revising, me I didn't and scored mainly A's and B's for all my exam papers!
When I went and studied Nursing, again I passed all exams without the benefit of study. If I got stuck on a question, I'd look up and through my unfocused eyes I'd mentally go through my written notes to find the info I needed.
I work as an anaesthetic nurse in an operating theatre and frequently amaze medical staff with my recall for dates and birthdays! don't ask me why I can recall just about anyones birthday when I certainly don't go out of my way to recall any dates. I also can amaze returning patients sometimes years later and remind them what they told me about their selfs!!
The only odd things about me are I'm left handed, slightly colour blind, my mum was in her 40's when I was born, the only other left handed one in the family is my brother that's closest in age to me, is the one who's 7 years older and he was left handed until he was changed at school to use his right hand. It's almost like I'm a sponge I soak up information especially if it is of interest to me.
Even Nikola Tesla had Eidetic memory,
no one knows that.
What's that
he invented the light bulb
@@laylonieandco Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Tesla invented the Tesla coil and A.C electric power.
Some times i love reading comments than videos..
Me too sharath🙏
I have been like that all my life. If anyone asked me something about many years ago, I would tell them what we talked about, what we did that day, the expression on his/her face and many other things. It has amassed me by some other happening in my life which I wouldn't come on here. But in the last few years as I am getting older. I have noticed that I am losing it too, as the Compass in my head doesnt work like before either....:(
I have medical conditions now that mess with my memory, but before that it was pretty great. I could remember every physics class in order, lecture and examples. I could memorize things accidentally for weeks after I read them. For one class I was taking a test but could see the textbook and my notes in my mind. All I used to have to do to get amazing grades was go to class and pay attention. Now I still have great spatial memory (images and such) but only for a short time and my other short term memory stuff basically doesn't exist. Long term is filled with holes. At some point I'll forget how good my memory was, but until then I guess I get to keep wishing it were like that again.
Smell is actually the best sense for memory
You think so? What about hearing(sounds), and sight(extremely small details)?
+Taylor Flaxson just what I've read and it seems to be true sometimes I'll smell something and it takes me back to something I haven't thought about in forever, I think taste and smell go hand in hand
+ppkeaton I see. That's true. Just so you know, which make of it whatever you will, but photographic memory is possible. I'm a diagnosed example. What about yourself?
+Taylor Flaxson I can picture things very elaborately in my head, but I can't just memorize a page of a book, I'm good with faces
l fart when l study...ahhh....hot beans
Does a blind person who can remember everything he hears have phonographic memory?
Most veterans to Madison are memories are constant. The hardest part is focusing on times that were less traumatic in veteran‘s life is key to deeply finding some similar piece. There’s always a Soldier a veteran after coming home that everything in life was kind of peaceful and combat can actually be the catalyst of traumatic events prior to combat foods site
I have photographic memory. I can remember every birthday I ever had since my 4th (I was blind until my 2nd birthday). I also remember the entire story of any book I have read even school textbooks (making it difficult to read the same book more than once)
I can't understand how my brain works, I'm really bad trying to remember words, actually ANYTHING in general but with numbers I've very good memory. It take me 30min of study in two diferent days to memorize 53 numbers of Pi "3,1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058". Of course, from that day I keep praticticing writing down otherwise I'll forget.

John Daleski I had problems remembering 2 words long after I learned them: dire straights and symbiosis. The band called.. and it didn't come spontaneously. When 2 animals benefits from each other it's called... and then I had to think every time. I have no idea why.

Trinity Hades woa! much smart!
I believe I have what could be interpreted as a video graphic memory. I can re watch mostly any kind of experience and the more I think or watch the more I am able to retrieve. It’s very burdening to me if not in a positive mind set. But it can be useful in some ways if directed in a motivator way. I retain lots of complicated scenarios, like Einstein theories, medicine, and technology. It can be fun.

I had a great memory before I was in my mid 30's. I could remember almost every conversation I had, whole pages of books word for word, and all kinds of details about projects I worked on. Even long strings of numbers 20 digits or more. After my 30's it started to go away, not that I remember things wrong but I have no memory of the details like I used to. I just draw a blank
Me I used to have a great one do you think that brain injuries have to do with it?
if i really want to remember something from a certain page of a book i read that page 3-4 times, then stare at the page for 4-6min. Then i can roughly recall 70 to 80 percent of the page. It's the same way with notes, which is much more helpful
None of the trick methods work for me. Just like reading faster with any kind of comprehension, the techniques they used on me never worked. For reading faster I have to literally skip words and hope that I catch the important words as a lot of the words in writing are not necessary (and skip paragraphs, pages,etc.). I think the neural wiring is different for different people. And a person's perception of how good their memories are and what they actually remember is different for different people. Crime seen studies show that people actually have terrible memories of the scenes and make up things based on their prejudices.
Can you guys do a video about absolute pitch? People say that you're born with it, but I found a way to get it by associating each pitch with a song or melody.
That way, if I hear a G for example, I go "Oh, that's the first note of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" and I know that it's a G. I don't know if that's "true" absolute pitch, but the result is exactly the same, and after a while one can get really fast at it.
The only note I can remember is E natural from my memory of "Take on Me." It works, I just have to move up and down the scale in my head to find other notes.
Anyone can train to do what you can do, unless they're tone deaf. However some people naturally hear intervals if they have a reference note i.e middle C. I have what I believe is called relative pitch where I hear the interval with a reference. I could do that without training. Its not that rare I believe. Perfect pitch is a different monster, very are. Not possible to train, unless you go about the nuryl program with a new born baby you might have a chance.... Its like hearing letters A B C D etc. to them They hear a note/ chord, and their brain tells them, oh that's a c7 or whatever. No need for reference notes, or looking at the piano, they know what each note is in a chord simply by listening, no calculating etc. its just something they hear. Quite cool really. I think I got that right; but I am happy to be corrected.
I sometimes see my memories as documents, files or folders, circling around me and simply picking one will reveal what is inside it. Like, this particular folder (colour blue) showing what I learned in maths - simultaneous equation.
My memory is directly interlocked with my sense of smell. everytime I smell a certain perfume or like around the holidays when my family is cooking my mind goes into a frenzy of the times when I was just a very young child walking around the house spending time with everyone. and everyone still alive and well waiting on supper to be finished. sighs
I always skip five seconds on every dnews video to skip the cringey joke and immediate intro
so true. the delivery is just awful
Truth.
I always keep my finger on the "L" key with these type of videos.
Me too.thankyou brother
Your hair is gorgeous!
Stardust Angel shut up
My hair are gorgeous
I would really like to take part in one of those test they mentioned about the white matter in your brain. I seem to be able to recall a plethora of information about nearly everything I've learned and experienced even down to how I was feeling at that time and what I was thinking at that moment
I get a little freak out when I was 8 I realized something myself I never knew I had all along. I was bored at the park and sat at the bench and saw a newspaper and threw it away just at a glance. And then after a few minute I just daydream off at the clouds waiting for my mom to pick me up from the park (because I was soccer practicing with my friends), while daydreaming I started to picture the newspaper in my head. It was WEIRD the moment I realized the heading and all the paragraphs and picture and every details, I stood up and looked at the newspaper again. That's when I got scared I thought it was something shit crazy when i was a kid lol then I told my mom and she said she was surprised i had photographic memory. From then on I learned to memorized every song and artist and their little story while going through records at the record store. Local people would come by at times to ask me a question and I hav the answer right on the top of my head lol I can still remember those records I hold. But the thing I really DID NOT like about this is that when something traumatic or creeps u out, u can almost recall it like a movie player replaying ... But u get use to it, that's how I really got into listening to music :)
Is it just me or is this video out of focus?
U need to see a eye docter
Yes i think it is too
@neo
I have quite strong photographic memory, and have been doing recent research on things like OCD and HSAM, because it has it's advantages but disadvantages too, especially when your past isn't all positive. Definitely effects my focus in day to day living more than I realise, especially while studying.
Not so extreme but I got this. I always used it for exams. Never memorized anything but I made abbreviations and short notes on specific page locations and I could recall and see those pages while taking tests.
one time I drew a random stranger that sat next to me for about 2 stops on the train and I drew her about 2 and a half weeks after i only saw her for about a little under ten minutes i didn't talk to her or anything but i still for some reason I remember her face exactly after 2 and a half weeks since I even initially saw her I even remember the dress she wore and the exact floral print and its not just her i remember the exact faces of a lot of other people i saw on the bus and train throughout those 2 weeks I had to take transit to work on a daily basis every day I was on the bus for 8 stops and the train for 14 stops it sounds creepy but I started drawing out the things and people i remember and its oddly satisfying to see the final result for the drawing I don't why I usually don't even remember what i ate for breakfast but now i remember everything
I remember a LOT from my past, places events, etc. including things I wish I didn't have to recall. Not sure why. I don't recall every single day of my life, but I can recall things I had as a child, what my closet looked like, the different toys that were in my closet, etc. I am able recall where we were living by a certain date and what we were doing.
My memories come back to me everytime I try to sleep (that's my trick) haha
I also used to read Cam Jansen books as a kid and was flabbergasted by how easily she remembered everything by doing her "click." So i decided to use it and i also remembered everything taught in school!! I used her "click" method ALL THE WAY TO MEDICAL SCHOOL. I am now 33 years old, a cardiovascular surgeon, and i will be reading Cam Jansen books to my daughter in one year when she enters kindergarten.
Some people say I have a "super memory" because I am good at remembering people and things that happened could get away with not studying in school as long as I paid attention in class. There have been times where I'll meet someone who I met once 7 years before and I can recall many details about them, I used to be able to freak people out because I'd know all of this stuff about them but then they couldn't remember me at all. With that being said I can't really remember the plots movies or books off the top of my head and my memory when it comes to amounts is always way off so i'm not very good at remembering stats or things like that.
I have a good memory. Oh wait, I just typed that, didn't, I?
No mention of Kim Peek or Rain Man?
same thing i was think
She did mention it, but not by name. It's called OCD.
Try to remember the important things in life. If we can keep such things in memory it will not only enrich our own day to day existence, but also the lives beyond one's own.
I used to be able to play entire movies in my head to vivid detail, but now my memory is extremely bad. I feel like school messes kids memories up.
Being able to remember every moment of your life is call Hyperthymesia and it is not just one case, but several documented cases including one of a well known actress name Marilu Henner. As for being a form of OCD, that was made by only ONE researcher who was challenged by many other scientist INCLUDING the woman you referred to in this video who found it to be an insult.

Did I have Photographic Memory when I was young?
In High School, taking a test, I could remember the answer from what I read one time, what page it was on and what position on the page and I seem to recall that I could actually visualize the words on the page in my mind. I was an A and B student and the only study I did was to read the assignment.
Na it isn't photographic memory I experienced something similar I can't even remember what I did a minute ago
And I'm still a and b student but my memory isn't like it was in 8th grade as you're explaining it's either because I'm mostly stressed now and fear that I'll forget anything if I learned it only once
I just did some research (Wiki, lol) and it appears photographic memory is similar to the ability to manifest your visualizations into your active sight, like a hologram. I always thought it was internalvisualization but they report being able to see after images very clearly and longer.
@@crisbowman I can see some images after years in my head, but unfortunately not to the level of detail needed to read text from it
I can't see the full picture in my head, but can easily recall anything I saw, separately. I also have a really good memory that comes in handy in school.
+Electric Ladyland Hi,do you have photographic memory? or do you think you have any version of it? or any memory techniques that can help people learn something really faster??I kindda really need help in memorizing stuff. I have to finish 24 new books(the smallest one is 410 pages :/ ) in the next 35 days :( :( please help me develop photographic memory or please just say how you developed it?if you can't remember how you developed it,then please tell me every detail(physical,brain function,color change,posture change,scent change or any change you can recall) you can remember when you remember something with your photographic memory and when you use the memory(execute memory) in a test or exam. Please try to understand,I have no other way out of finishing these 24 books :( :( :(
If you can't answer any of the above questions then please tell me,any memory technique that you use to memorize pages for an exam(preferably long-term memory technique) or any good memory technique that I can use to finish 24 books in 35 days or closest to finishing the task.Please reply soonest,thanks a lott.
I remember the camera being slightly out of focus in this video, my estimates are now that I wrote it down I will remember this for many years to come (ad antiquity), but only in certain situations, where remembering it adds nothing to the situations I'll be in. Same goes for most of my memories.
But yeah memories come with images, scents, sensations, all summoned up from associative thinking, and malleable to a good extent. I think you looked good in pigtails in this video. :)
i wonder if you will get a notification for this but do you still remember?
So is it "Let's Lead the Way" or "Let's Go Places"... You can't have it both ways Toyota!!
lol photographic memory isn't real... except for all these instances where it is and we don't really know why. Dnews, you've done it again! Brilliant!
geniuses, I wonder how much of them it will take to screw in a light bulb.
I have photographic memory. I literally see the past passage of writing in my mind, read off it and use the facts in conversation. It's pretty kool. I can also remember when repeating a fact I learnt, back to the exact "scene" of when I learnt that fact. My partner hates it because he can barely win arguments.
I have this idea that a person's memory can only hold so much, and the more stuff I write down, the less I'll need to remember, and the more room there will be in my brain for the really important things. I don't know if there's any science behind that, but it does seem to work for me.
I used to have a photographic memory when I was younger
Do you recall how you lost it by any chance?
Me too. I really want it back. I don’t know how I lost it. Could be aging, weed, not exercising, hitting my head, or something else. I have no idea. Rip :(
I think because of school (using different sides of my brains, which I used my photographic memory less and less) and me just getting older in general. Also it could be my depression because when I first got it; my memory went all shit.
me too - or some version of it - i thought it was a sneaky way of doing well at spelling tests - i would just recall what a word looks like and read it off
antigen4 goddamn, i still do it 😂
why is it that the close ups are so out of focus?
because of the fstop was too low and the lady leaned forward too much
I have a type of memory that is as close as you can get to photographic memory. It’s basically to the point where if I want to remember something I just have to see it or read it and I’ll remember it forever but I don’t just remember everything subconsciously that I see and read, I have to consciously think OK I need to store this piece of information in my brain and then it never leaves.
I wouldn't say I have photographic memory but I can remember faces to the detail in people and what do you look like in what do you wor and randomly it appears in my dreams as if I'm seeing them in front of me
