Photographic Memory

There is a romantic interest in photographic memory that is unfounded. It’s not that it does not exist, it does. It’s that there is a lot that needs to be invested in this before you can harvest it s utility. Bill Gates is credited to having photographic memory. What does that actually mean? Does that meant that you see something and that you remember every last detail in picture form? Yes and no. First of it depends what kind of memory you have. If you are the kinds of person that is more attuned to acoustic memory then you can remember every note of a sonata the way Beethoven and Mozart can. They can play entire symphonies in their head because they have superior acoustic encoding. On the other hand someone like Bill Gates has superior semantic encoding.

But all photographic memory starts with its location in the short term areas of the brain and it is then moved to the long term memory or to the subconscious. We all do have photographic memory, actually. You do, and so do I. The difference is that your photographic memory is stored in your subconscious. While others like Beethoven, Mozart and Bill Gates have it stored in the more accessible part of their conscious brain.

The point that you have to carry with you then, ti sthat you already record everything, you just need to increase your ability of recalling it and to do that we take advantage o three strategies. The first is that we make sure that the hippocampus records it in the best place for retrieval and that we make a record of its location.

In a hard drive on you computer there is such a thing called the registry. We introduced this concept earlier on. The difference between the registry in the hard drive and the registry in your brain is that the infrastructure is a little different although the concept is the same.

In the computer there is a list of filenames and the corresponding hard drive location. If you go to your word processing app and create a file, the computer will register where it is stored that file in the hard drive. The funny thing is that if you decide to move the file from one folder to the next, the computer will show that the location is now in the new folder, but the actual, physical location of the bits of ones and zeros is still in the exact same spot on the hard drive. The only thing that had changed would be the location from where the files is called from , and that is kept in the register. The same thing happens when you delete a file. It doesn’t actually erase all the ones and zeros, what it does is remove the entry in the registry.

Now let us compare that with the working of the brain. There are some similarities but there are also some vast differences. The reason we explain this here is so
