Photographic memory or eidetic memory refers to the ability of a person to recall images, sounds, or objects in memory with great accuracy and in seemingly unlimited volume. For instance, many famous artists and composers like Mozart and Claude Monet possibly had eidetic memory. However, Dr. Marvin Minsky in his book The Society of Mind claims to have been unable to verify claims of eidetic memory (see sections 15.3 & 15.6) and considers reports of eidetic memory to be "unfounded myths". Perhaps claims for eidetic memory can be considered a subset of the "urban legend" phenomenon.
