Eidetic memory
Eidetic memory refers to the ability of an individual who can accurately recall a large number of images, sounds and objects in an unlimited volume. Eidetic has a meaning of "related extraordinarily detailed and vivid recall of visual images" in Greek. In the picture elicitation method, children are asked to study an image for approximately thirty minutes, and then the researchers remove the picture, it has been found that children with such ability are able to recall the image with perfect accuracy after the picture has been removed. It has been suggested that children with eidetic memory can maintain the image in their memory as vividly as if it were still there.
