It would mean you don't have to understand the patterns, and therefore not organize your knowledge following those patterns. Which would make it less useful, and sooner or later very cluttered. Eidetic memory seems to become a problem the more you have to cope with new information to integrate, because you simply can't forget the unimportant information acquired two decades ago. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I should have put "photographic" in quotation marks when I wrote "photographic memory" to show I was using the colloquial usage of the term. (I did think about doing that at the time I wrote it but didn't.) I did not mean the type of memory that some savants have, I meant "extraordinarily good memory", almost "photographic-like" in retention. I think that's what a lot of people mean when they say "photographic memory" - having an excellent memory. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

There are individuals with eidetic memory who are not savants. And what I wrote holds true for excellent memory as well - one doesn't only need the information itself; it must be possible to access it or inhibit it at the right time.

I think that's what an excellent memory is about by definition - being able to "access [information] [...] at the right time." If you could not access your memory banks (for whatever reason) for information you need at the time, you would not have "excellent memory".

I hope nanotechnology, biotech, and AI will give us all this ability.
