How To Have A Photographic Memory: You Don't Have To Be Born With It

By Kyle Richey

If you think you have to have a photographic memory from birth, think again. You don't. How can you have a photographic memory if you weren't born with one?

You'll need some patience and quite a lot of practice to develop it, but you can develop a photographic memory. You'll need some basic instruction that can come from audio or video tapes, books, DVDs or even from personal instruction if you know someone who can teach you how to have a photographic memory. Your brain is a lot like a computer, and it can store a lot of information. Just as with the computer, you file information away and then can retrieve the whenever you need it. If you know how to store this information properly, retrieval is easy; if you don't how to store properly, it can be hard.

Training your mind to place information properly is the best way to attain the fast and effective recall that comes with photographic memory. Most people without these skills have to sit and sort through all the information for that one piece they are looking for.

Association

Association is one of the first things that you will learn when it comes to obtaining a photographic memory. This comes in useful for things like first encounters. You never have to worry about remembering a persons name because you will know how to associate their name with something that will allow you to remember who they are.

An example of this would be associating the name of a tall person named Ben with Big Ben. This is the premise behind association. Using something that will remind you of a particular word or in this case name. It may be unrelated or even nonsensical. The important thing is to make sure it is something that will allow you to recall the original information.

Method 2- Image Association

It's also useful if you have the ability to think in pictures when you want to learn how to use your photographic memory. For example, if you're learning a phone number and you can visually "see" the number in your mind's eye, simply calling it up visually might help you. Or, you can visualize the telephone keypad when you try to recall the number and know the telephone number's numeric positions on the keypad.

These are just a couple of examples of how to have a photographic memory. For more tips and tricks, purchase an audio or video series by people in the know. The more your practice, the better you'll get and your mind will become a steel trap in no time at all.
