Info On Ways To Develop A Photographic Memory

By Amanda Collins


While to some its an innate ability, for others its something they have had to practice over time and train their mind into harnessing these abilities. For learners, being able to develop a photographic memory is not easy and may even take years to achieve but its always worth it at the end considering what can be accomplished by this ability.

This skill allows one to memorize things like notes, lists of items or scene and being able to remember everything including tiny details that normal people may not remember. Attention to detail is another skill that enhances this ability as one can get every detail and remember everything as it was which is basically like video recording.

Some people tend to confuse this ability with having a high IQ which is never the case; however, most geniuses tend to possess this ability but not the other way round. It is said that this cab be a gift and a curse at the same time since one can enjoy having to remember things that matter but on the other hand, they also do the same with traumatic experiences which then haunts them as they keep remembering every detail they saw which can be frustrating.

According to theories that go around, harnessing and acquisition of these abilities is realized by applying some mental techniques that trains the brain to be sharper. Among the commonest and of all time techniques is the use of cards which work by memorizing one and with time learn to play around with the whole deck whereby one can remember every detail of these cards such as flower, number and color even when flipped on the other side.

Given its effectiveness, educators have adopted this in schools and more so in the lowest level where young learners are taught alphabets using this method. It works by putting up pictures that can be associated with the alphabets when remembering them; with this, they are easier to grasp and therefore the educators are able to achieve their goals.

Memory enhancement is among the training entailed in military recruitment; this skills really comes in handy especially in investigations as one can recall information that is useful in cracking the case. Moreover, ones mental power is what gives them an upper hand tackling problems that may otherwise be impossible to crack.

According to the research conducted by neurologists, it only take 15 minutes a day to exercise brain power and try to harness it to the point of perfecting these skills. This is very little time to spare and one that everyone can manage to keep especially since most people spend at least three hours watching television which is not as beneficial.

This is a skill that is progressively acquired and therefore one should be patient and not frustrated when things seem not to work as anticipated in the beginning. Time and hard work is all that takes to master this skill; also, having an idea of what the journey entails gives one a good reason to persevere as they know what is required of them to get to where they want.
