  • This guy is BEAST.

  • YOU DONT GET IT!!! He trained his brain we all have potential. Anyone can do it you just need to commit. But notions like natural GENIUS hold people back from their potential. All you need is passion in life.

  • would they even be allowed to compete?

  • yeah he does have disabillities but as far as memory goes he doesnt and isnt that what we are talking about?

  • You are only telling part of the story. Alot of the time there is a disability attached to the heightened sense. Its nature. I would like to know more about Kim Peek I doubt you are getting the whole story.

  • i never said your memory power couldn't be improved but i did say that having the memory of an autistic savant like Kim Peek is probably still out of our reach..... even the greatest memory champions couldn't compete with him... he remembers 98% of everything he hears,sees,reads, etc without effort... and i have a great memory already i don't care for your books.....some people are born at an advantage and it can't be denied..

  • Everything comes from something, The brain is wired to work from Associative memory. GO learn about memory. I suggest the book "THE MEMORY BOOK". All Memory is based on association. Nature can always be explained we just dont always know all the details!

  • well autistic savants have better memory than even ben pridmore... they are born like that though

  • he was probably acing his exams in school with that brain

  • Savants aside I don't think anyone actually has a 'photographic' memory like that.
