How To Start Developing A Photographic Memory

By Margaret Myers


Being able to remember or recall things at a glance can be an extremely useful skill to have. Developing a photographic memory - also known as an eidetic memory - can be most beneficial in a variety of situations, circumstances or even professions. Those with an exceptional level of such skill are often referred to as eidetickers.

Being able to remember things visually can be a most helpful skill in circumstances where events have happened quickly and need to be relayed in detail later on. This type of situation could be one where a person has been assaulted or in a crime scene, for example. Having someone on board who has accurately captured and can replay what happened can be of huge assistance.

If you are a victim or even a witness so some such occurrence, having an excellent photographic memory is a good way to assist police officers in solving the crime or catching a criminal. You may remember distinct features of the assailant, and this could be used to accurately sketch what he or she looks like. As a result, this could speed up how quickly the crime is solved.

Developing this skill is possible, even if it isn't natural at first. It is rumored that military professionals are trained using the Dark Room Method, as it could be used extensively throughout the military. Other methods include the Loci System and the linking method, which are very similar in nature.

The Loci System is one that involves using the bizarre to remember simple things. The mind, it seems, is always more likely to remember things out of the ordinary or unusual. This method, along with the art of linking, is particularly useful when it comes to remembering lists or even directions. Associating landmarks or particular items with a crazy story makes it easier to remember.

The Dark Room Method is a very simple exercise which has proven to be effective with consistency. Daily practice is recommended over a period of four to five weeks to really benefit from the process. You will need a dark room to sit in with a torch or lamp that you can switch on at off momentarily. You will also need a book and some card that has a window cut out of it to create a space through which you can see a paragraph in the book.

The cutout 'window' should be placed directly on top of a paragraph of text for memorizing. Give the eyes some time to adjust to how dark it is to begin, and then switch on the light briefly whilst looking at the visible text through the 'window'. Switch the light off again and the text will actually remain in front of the eyes for a few seconds.

If you do this for a quarter of an hour every day, you will quickly learn to absorb more information in shorter spaces of time from just one look. You will be able to remember other things you see, if only for a moment. Once you put in the practice, you are bound to get the results.
