This has probably been asked already, but can you develop a photographic or near photographic memory?
I watched Dr. Mike's YouTube video (I think it's his latest one but it's about his journey and how he became a doc, and I'm talking about the famous instagram doctor), and in it, he mentioned that his dad made him memorize his social studies book and recite it back to him such that he soon developed a near photographic memory. ( - it's somewhere in this video, I believe the first half).
I haven't done research on this, and I may be putting a drastic spin on this, but is it possible to develop a photographic memory by super rigorous memorization/discipline? Such that this type of learning formed when young it could improve your ability to have some type of photographic memory later? I'm not trying to refute anything in that video, just curious about photographic/ near photographic memories in general lol
