Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer photographic memory

does anybody know where an adult can get traing on how to develop a photographic memory.

A few people over the years have reported unlocking a complete photographic memory through PhotoReading. Only one was verified.

One guy, Peter K., from the New York area, had been listening to the Memory Supercharger 24-hours a day for three months when he claimed a photographic memory. Could you imagine listening to a tape continually for three months?

Yikes!

I am going to have to start listening to the memory supercharger more often! Wouldn't a person have a severe headache listening to a tape for that long?

Currently, I am loving that New Behavior Generator tape. I found that I was too lazy to do my homework and made a goal to keep up with my studies and enjoy the process. What do you know I have been doing my homework and not minding it ever since. I found that I wasn't being an active listener in class so I set a goal to concentrate in class. Once again I have had good results. I can see why this tape is Paul's favorite.

weight39doug, how did you use the tape to change your behaviour? How many times, how did you frame your goal...

I listened to the framing tape once for each of those goals.

Maybe if I had a sticker goal I would need to listen a few times to get it established. I just got the tape so my experience with it is limited. But the 2 goals I have set have worked out extremely well.

Pete,

Aren't you guys at LS working on a memory course, slated to be available at the begining of 2001?

Pete, do you think if we had the knowledge - could everyone could have a photographic memory if they choose to?

(What I mean by this is that you can condition yourself to have a photographic memory, not alter your genes or physically change your structure in any way.)

And also, to what sort of level would that photographic memory go to if that was the case? The impression I get when people talk about photographic memory (in general) is the main character from the movie, Good Will Hunting, but saying that, it is a film and not based on a reality, although I like to dream ;-).

Memory course -- Yup, we are working on a hum-dinger. Early 2001 is probably not realistic, but second quarter. It won't have photographic memory, because we don't have "the knowledge."

But you are right if we did, it would no doubt be possible for everyone.

Hi Pete,
Re. the memory course and photographic memory... "The Knowledge" that you speak of lacking, is it due to not being able to find models to interview and observe, or is the problem that you haven't been able to understand their processes.

Also, how really useful would a photomemory be? My understanding is that most people that have a photomemory have difficulty integrating the info and/or relating to people. Am I correct or mislead?

Another challenge is that the memory experts we've worked are not that interested in photographic memory. Even Paul Scheele--he'd rather spend his r&d time on other topics.

I've spoken with several (if not more) folks who have photographic memory, and they have said they can recite from their memory, but they don't understand the material unless they read it in their mind's eye.

Well, that's easily solved by PhotoReading and activating the information to build understanding. The photographic memory would be there for the at-will details.

I wonder how long that eidetic image is easily recalled. As it is, I am amazed at how much information goes into my head and how much I remember now. And, when I don't remember something, I don't fret much, because of the vast quantities I do remember.
