We have time for one more question. Yes. The question is about
photographic memory. There are a lot of claims about photographic
memory. My understanding is they do not tend to be substantiated.
Sometimes photographic memory, and this came up when we talked about
autism a few classes ago, is linked with savant-like skills. People who
have severe impairments in some ways may have photographic memories in
others. I am not convinced that photographic memory in the sense that
you see something, you take a picture of it, you hold it in memory
really exists. I think there may be one or two case studies that suggest
it might be real but I think it’s controversial. We have a guest
lecturer on Wednesday. Dean Peter Salovey will talk to us about love.
