Nose piercings. Ironically, I got it anyway and loved the look it gave me, but now I can't wear it out much anymore.

coogar:
which means i am not wrong then - why then do you feel you could attack me? do you get orgäsms attacking coogar indiscriminately?

coogar:
and when a dictionary quoted eidetic memory is the same as photographic memory, is the dictionary also written by an idïot?

you are running out of excuses.....so it's not only coogar that thinks both are the same. many others belong to my school of thought - so what's the problem?

coogar:
a careful look at your medical history woyld reveal at a point in your childhood, you hit your head on the wall. what the fück are you talking about? the eidetic/photographic memory polarises opinion.....some schools of thought say it doesn't even exist, some say it exists and it's the same........

eidetic memory lasts - just because your professor met someone who claims to have eidetic memory but then failed under examination does not mean eidetic memory doesn't last. how are you so foolish? i have given you examples of people who were able to recall a whole constitution, poetry, mathematical concepts after many years of digesting it in verbatim.

how many people has your professor met in his life to prematurely conclude eidetic memory has an expiry date? you have to be a fool not to understand the difference between an opinion & a fact. opinions are different from facts, you dork!

fück out of my face - you inscrutable minger!

coogar:
you are the most foolish human being africa has produced - and to think more intelligent people have died of ebola recently & a waste of flesh like you is still competing with me to suck oxygen - what a cruel world!!!

eidetic memory is the same as photographic - any link that tells you differently is just being inherently möronic. if you want to debunk such memory as a myth altogether then it's fine by me.......but to tell me there's a difference must mean you musta been born feet first.

what alan searleman was debunking is the myth of eidetic/photographic altogether not that one is different from the other. you are such a fool, you wouldn't form a big O with the base of a coke bottle. i can now see why you are in hatfield - it's where rëtarded goats of your ilk really belong - babymama university.

59-year-old Akira Haraguchi recited from memory the first 83,431 decimal places of pi, earning a spot in the Guinness World Records.

He must have a photographic memory, right? Not so. According to mounting evidence, it's impossible to recall images with near perfect accuracy.

Alan Searleman, a professor of psychology at St. Lawrence University in New York, says eidetic imagery comes closest to being photographic. When shown an unfamiliar image for 30 seconds, so-called "eidetikers" can vividly describe the image—for example, how many petals are on a flower in a garden scene. They report "seeing" the image, and their eyes appear to scan across the image as they describe it. Still, their reports sometimes contain errors, and their accuracy fades after just a few minutes. Says Searleman, "If they were truly 'photographic' in nature, you wouldn't expect any errors at all."

Photographic memory is often confused with another bizarre—but real—perceptual phenomenon called eidetic memory, which occurs in between 2 and 15 percent of children and very rarely in adults. An eidetic image is essentially a vivid afterimage that lingers in the mind's eye for up to a few minutes before fading away. Children with eidetic memory never have anything close to perfect recall, and they typically aren't able to visualize anything as detailed as a body of text.

The intuitive notion of a “photographic” memory is that it is just like a photograph: you can retrieve it from your memory at will and examine it in detail, zooming in on different parts. But a true photographic memory in this sense has never been proved to exist.

Even visual memories that seem to approach the photographic ideal are far from truly photographic. These memories seem to result from a combination of innate abilities, combined with zealous study and familiarity with the material, such as the Bible or fine art.

Sorry to disappoint further, but even an amazing memory in one domain, such as vision, is not a guarantee of great memory across the board. That must be rare, if it occurs at all. A winner of the memory Olympics, for instance, still had to keep sticky notes on the refrigerator to remember what she had to do during the day.

coogar:
my uni?
hahahaha - the only reason you would be allowed into the grounds of my university is because they musta considered you a cleaner, not as a student. where's the IQ you would use to convince them that you are even a student.

if at your age, you dunno eidetic means photographic then you better buy superglue to seal your labïa. there's even no need for you to have sėx - cos an error of procreation might occur. it's an insult to the patients of trisomy-21 to say you are rëtarded.

bush babe from gambia feeling funky.....woe betide the useless labour government for giving a nanny-goat like yourself a student visa to mingle with people like me in the same country. fool talking about me being caught & yet she cannot defend the fact that rachmaninov had eidetic/photographic memory.

ewu gambia!!!

coogar:
you may not be a genius? lololol
you are not even close to being a genius. geniuses don't go to your school. the dullest student in my primary school in nigeria made it into imperial college - how did you end up in a shyte school?



there's nothing to find out.....
i knew about eidetic memory many years ago to start re-studying about it. it's only people like you with a limited pool of vocabulary that consider it a big word......this is why i was admitted into a uni that has produced 25 nobel laureates & you were refused admission into such schools cos they don't consider you intelligent enough to wear their badges.

the difference between me & you is the distance between the earth & pluto!

coogar:
you are the biggest pillock known to man - efforts should be made to have you neutered so you don't produce more idiòts on this planet. there are more people with photographic/eidetic memory in the world - that many of them never came out for any test doesn't mean they don't exist.....

von neumann had the gift, rachmaninov, wiltshire, vivekananda all possessed eidetic memories. how can you be so foolish not to know this after many hours of your scouring the internet thinking you are intelligent?



you are a fool!
brainless gibbon - your mind is so filthy, you cannot process information. some people believe eidetic/photographic memory is a myth altogether cos there are circumstances where people who claim to possess them might fail to reproduce a vivid picture of what they had read......that's the reason you are seeing conflicting links debunking the whole concept. your links never distinguished between the two, they only used different terms to describe the same memory.



you are a consummate rëtard!
some scientists believe it exists, some don't believe it does. different terms were used to describe the same word.....i believe there are eidetikers in this world contrary to what you & your stupid journals are saying - after all said & done, you still cannot prove my usage of the word is flawed & that makes you a simpleton!

you are lucky my mood ain't foul this afternoon, i would have used your blood to spray-paint my name on your house. the next time you attempt to sound intelligent by quoting my post, i shall pee in your nostrils. i have zero tolerance for single-digit IQ females.

coogar:
you are a plonker.....
who's confusing eidetic with photographic - they are the same thing. stop quoting rubbish on the internet from fools like yourself. are you a toad?



von neumann had no photographic memory? if i earn one pesewa for each of your stupid statements, i would be a trillionaire in pounds sterling.

this is another NASA scientist referring to eidetic memory as photographic memory. kandiikane, you are the living example of the lack of quality education.

coogar:
you are just quoting rubbish!
eidetic memory is photographic memory - don't confuse the scientific/medical term to everyday term.

eidetic memory can very well be retained. jon von neumann & elizabeth already debunked that retention theory that eidetic memory cannot be retained.

i still dunno how my use of eidetic memory in a sentence is wrong when many adults(albeit rare) have displayed the use of this memory. next time, read extensively before challenging me in the use of words. unlike you, english is my mother-tongue. i knew the meaning of 90% of the words in a dictionary by the age of 10.

meanwhile, according to a village goat known as kandiikane, eidetic memory cannot go beyond or retain a body of text from few months ago.

eidetic memory does retain a body of text, you doofus. jon von neumanm had eidetic memory & he could reel out anything he's read in the past word for word. who told you eidetic memory has an expiry date? were you born feet first?

this is how idïots like you come online to contest what you know absolutely nothing about. ferdinand marcos could read out a whole country's constitution from memory years after he read it the first time & you are here disgracing your national flag. you have the brain power of a pubic louse.

fall off a stairwell & die....you are a waste of oxygen!

Is there such a thing as a photographic memory? And if so, can it be learned?
March 12, 2007
Alan Searleman, a professor of psychology at St. Lawrence University and co-author of the college textbook Memory from a Broader Perspective, explains.
In the scientific literature, the term eidetic imagery comes closest to what is popularly called photographic memory. The most common way to identify eidetikers (as people with eidetic imagery are often called) is by the Picture Elicitation Method. In it, an unfamiliar picture is placed on an easel and a person carefully scans the entire scene. After 30 seconds have elapsed, the picture is removed from view, and the person is asked to continue to look at the easel and to report anything that they can observe. People possessing eidetic imagery will confidently claim to still "see" the picture. In addition, they can scan it and examine different parts of it just as if the picture were still physically present. Consequently, one of the hallmarks of eidetic imagery is that eidetikers use the present tense when answering questions about the missing picture, and they can report in extraordinary detail what it contained.
Eidetic images differ from other forms of visual imagery in several important ways. First, an eidetic image is not simply a long afterimage, since afterimages move around when you move your eyes and are usually a different color than the original image. (For example, a flash camera can produce afterimages: the flash is bright white, but the afterimage is a black dot, and the dot moves around every time you move your eyes.) In contrast, a true eidetic image doesn¿t move as you move your eyes, and it is in the same color as the original picture. Second, a common visual image that we can all create from memory (such as an image of a bedroom) does not have the characteristics of most eidetic images, which almost always fade away involuntarily and part by part. Also, it is not possible to control which parts of an eidetic image fade and which remain visible. Unlike common visual images created from memory,[b] most eidetic images last between about half a minute to several minutes only, and it is possible to voluntarily destroy an eidetic image forever by the simple act of blinking intentionally. [/b]Furthermore, once gone from view, rarely can an eidetic image ever be retrieved.

most research has shown that virtually no adults seem to possess the ability to form eidetic images.

According to theories, a person with a photographic memory is capable of remembering scenes and events as detailed, precise images. Numerous scientific studies have suggested that the photographic memory is probably purely legendary, as no demonstrations of a truly photographic memory have ever been documented. Some people, however, have what is known as an eidetic memory, a related but somewhat different concept. The terms “eidetic” and “photographic” are sometimes confused, especially in the popular media, and some people may refer to a photographic memory when they really mean an eidetic memory.

Proponents of the belief that a photographic memory really does exist say that some people are capable of storing information in the form of detailed images which can be recalled at will. A person with such a memory, for example, would be able to describe a painting in detail after seeing it once, or be able to recite passages from a book he or she had only seen in passing. People are in fact capable of such feats, but this appears to be the result of rigorous mental training, rather than an actual photographic memory.

[In an eidetic memory, people store visual information with a high level of precision, and this allows them to repeat information in exhaustive detail, but usually only shortly after being exposed to it. Eidetic memory appears to be most common in children, typically fading with age, and some researchers have suggested that this may be because children are more likely to store information in a purely visual way, rather than trying to verbally describe the things they see/quote]

[quoteIn the case of individuals who have an eidetic memory, they appear to store information in fundamentally different ways which facilitate a very high level of recall. This type of memory is not quite the same thing as the famed “photographic memory” which pops up periodically in the popular media, not least because photographic memories are often attributed to adults, and children are actually more likely to have an eidetic memory.

The popular term photographic memory refers to the ability to capture and store an exact replicate of an image (like a photograph) in one’s brain and perfectly recall the image at a later time point. This differs slightly from eidetic memory. People with eidetic memory are able to reproduce a previously viewed image in their mind, maintaining general physical qualities such as spatial organization, color, and texture. As described by Searleman (2007), a true eidetic image does not move when one moves their eyes. Thus, an eidetic image is not simply an afterimage, which usually moves and is often different in color from the original image. Eidetic images usually fade away involuntarily after a few minutes, and the image is lost upon blinking. Once an eidetic image has faded away, it can rarely – arguably never – be retrieved.

this is the reason you couldn't get into any russell-group school & you had to settle for community polytechnics turned university. if eidetic memory is the same as photographic memory, why is it so wrong for me to use it in a sentence?

you have been outstanding for the last 3 months but you have reverted back to your dümb status yet again. it must be the water or those gambian food you love to eat. don't be jealous of my innate ability to remember the minutest of detail about anything.

eidetic memory = photographic memory!
what research do you need done here? you mean you need wikipedia as usual to decipher whatever i write?

no wonder you go to hertfordshire uni - that is where people of your ilk belong.

Cats disgusting? Check the meaning of the word "disgusting" again. Cat's are one of the tidiest animals on the face of mother earth. I've been with both animals and I can confidently tell you that a cat us way more neater than a dog. To your third question, yes... cats answer to their name if you train them from a tender age to do so. To the OP's question, if you've got the time, I would advise you to go for a dog, but if time isn't a friend of yours, then get a cat.

If you were in the West you would have approached him, but too bad we are Africans. I'll advise you don't make yourself look desperate for his attention as It would send the wrong message and in turn might not really believe you. Hence I suggest you keep your cool. Keep your standard. If he likes you, he should be man enough to at least have a conversation with you.

@busybody2,


Remember the lady sued the IBO man to court to get child support? and IBO man is saying he can only cater for the child if he has full custody. On what defective grounds will the case be thrown out? on grounds that they are not legally married or on grounds that it is impossible for the man to father the child?

Are the interpol in Nigeria not Nigerians? are they whites? you see if I'm the father of Liya and the court issues a warrant of arrest on me for not paying child support and I reside in Nigeria, they should just forget it cuz if I say I don't have money , I don't have! and I'm ready to proof it beyond reasonable doubt.

The laws in Europe/America favors women but you see, the law in Nigeria favors Men.
