I know that the MO course does not promise a photographic memory, in fact quite the opposite. OK that's fine by me, BUT there are people out there with amazing visual memories! A Russian psychologist studied a man with just such a memory and published the findings in "A little book about a vast memory". What are people with so-called photographic memories? Judghing by the stuff in MO are we to conclude that they are somehow "freaks" who do not have intricate memory webs, like children? Or are they just the opposite? Are they people with incredibly rich memory webs? If so, how come there are people who are 12 y.o., for exanmple, with photographic memories?
Can anyone please explain more about photographic memory?
