Anyone here can honestly say that have a photographic memory?
I read this theory that suggested all people develop photographic minds early as kids cuz they can only make visual associations to objects. But as we grow older and learn the alphabet and words this visual way of identifying/associating is lost and only a small % retain it to adulthood.
I think you can bring it back, not fully. but just by practice, and mentally visualizing everything you want to learn makes things so much easier to remember.
