<p>doesn't mean anything...probably just mnemonic devices. i can do the same with license plates, social security numbers, phone numbers, pi, etc.</p>
<p>A lot of people 'claim' to have it, but then can't remember what page they had for homework in American history.
Same thing goes for being Ambidextrous (My friends joke about saying people who have it's handwriting are just 'equally bad')</p>

what does sats have to do with memorization?
[/quote]
in regards to the SATs, i thought there might be a correlation if he could remember everything he read, he would most likely have an excellent vocabulary (up the writing score), and for critical reading, if he read the passages normally, as one would do on the test, and could recall every minute detail, his score could very well increase...</p>
<p>I have a photographic memory....mine is mostly with people that I see or rooms that I've been in, but I can also do "playback" wi/ music to the point where I can sing out loud while playing the music and vocals in my head :D</p>
<p>Every once in a while, I will be taking a test over some book, and I'll remember a passage or a line and the exact place that it was on the page...</p>
<p>i have a photographic memory. it mostly helped in history classes. during tests i could visualize the page the information was on, and then i would sorta read the page in my mind until i found the answer. it is a really useful tool.</p>
<p>but like MissMichelle, i remember rooms and people the best.</p>
<p>Some people do have photographic memory.</p>
<p>My chess team coach last year told our team that there was a russian chess player who could play 5 games of chess simultaniously, win all of them, and them remake the all of the games move by move afterward.</p>
<p>I think I have a good memory (people, especially), but I don't think it's photographic.</p>
<p>I have photographic memory to a certain extent. Like if i was reading a text book, i will subconsiously( i don't make myself do this, it just happens this way) split it up into sections and will remember what that section covered in extreeme detail, but i can't do it word for word. Because of this is do extreemly well on tests, because if i am having trouble i will just think back to the "section" that covered it. I hanvn't taken the ACT yet though so don't ask me scores.</p>
<p>also rooms, i can walk into a room sit and look at it for 5 minutes and you could talk to me 5 days later and i could tell you pretty much everything in it and its position.</p>
<p>I'm actually glad though that i don't have full blown memory, apperantly it is EXTREMELY stressful to have, I meen if you could imagine remembering every little detail.</p>
<p>EDIT: If you read prxilitys post on the first page, thats pretty much what I'm like aswell.</p>
<p>Also, there are people i know and other that i have seen that are autistic, and they can recall statistics, years of events, its just amazing.</p>
