Many experts say that the photographic memory is nonsense, if you don't concentrate on every detail, only the descriptive small patterns are kept in your memory, and you need to acquire and take to the subconscious a large variety of words to describe an object so it can be efficient and this takes years.

You can do more research on this by checking out all the best memory experts, you will find that they all use their own codified story method to memorize more accurately.

@saintpine interesting point

@Urza26 Different minds work differently, i can't remember someones name even if i have heard of it like 25 times. Played trough the entire Medal of Honor campaign and still can't remember the names of a characters, never mind they constantly were on the screen and people constantly called up these names.

For all I know, we do not have a good visual memory, pictures are recorded in a descriptive manner, we need to pay attention for every detail with attention to memorize them.

That is why we can hardly remember anything from when we are very young, the images fade away quite easily, and we don't have the capabilities on how to reconstruct them because our vocabulary is still lacking,

“Visual memory, your mental storehouse of picture, it bigger and better than scientists thought.”

I think in realty It’s quite poor, to understand what I mean, try showing pictures of objects that do not have a dictionary word to describe them, with strange shapes, and strange colors.

You will find the results quite deluding, because you take away the capabilities of the person to store pictures in their descriptive manner using name, shape associations, and defined color recognition.

I find when I slow down and do pay attention, I remember more and I have less stress from trying to find miss placed items.
