Interesting video, but I really would've liked to hear why the prof thinks there's no such thing as a photographic memory (5:47) when there are people out there like Stephen Wiltshire. (He's autistic and can draw landscapes very accurately after only seeing them once.)

@ciarepairs I've just used these kind of techniques in my psychology exams over the last couple of weeks at University, for the first time as well, and they worked amazingly - particularly 'The Roman Room' technique! I managed to remember every single thnig I'd revised! Try it!
