Relating to an extremely clear and detailed visual memory that allows someone to recall images almost perfectly, like having a photographic memory.
From Greek 'eidos' meaning 'form' or 'image,' combined with the suffix '-etic' (relating to). The term was coined in psychology in the early 1900s to describe vivid visual recall.
True eidetic memory in adults is extremely rare—most people who claim photographic memory are actually just really good at encoding information systematically, though some children show eidetic abilities that fade as they grow up.
