If Photographic Memory is possible, then is a form of 'Sound Recording' Memory Possible?

Question

just wondering......

Answer 1

Methinks yes... well, I can hear peoples voices in my head telling the answers to answers in tests and stuff...

I'm not mad...or schizophrenic

Answer 2

I would think that if you have so--called "photographic memory" that you basically have a terrific memory at just about anything that crosses your path...it might be called eidetic memory? I don't have it! ;-)..........peace

Answer 3

Yes it's possible.  The story I have heard about is also Mozart.  He heard a piece (by Haydn?) and was asked if he liked it.  He said it did and remembered every note.  So then he was challenged to write it down.  He did so, and then was told he had made a mistake in one place for a particular instrument.  He said no.  So they looked at the parts played by that musician, and there was a mistake in the part...

Answer 4

There are some people who have that talent.  Probably the most celebrated person is Mozart.  He was able to recall an entire work from a single hearing.

Answer 5

In fact there is a musical analog called perfect pitch.  It is the ability of musicians to recall musical notes they have heard and replay long strings of them accurately.  

I recall a lecture at the meeting of the Acoustical Society of America where a scientist provided insight into perfect pitch.  She found musicians who had perfect pitch.  She then let them hear recorded music of two types.  One used normal musical scales, and the other used altered musical scales where the notes could not be identified by name such as C sharp.  Her work showed that the perfect pitch musicians only had good memory for music played in conventional scales, and normal memory for the music played in alternative scales.  She concluded that the perfect pitch musicians remembered the names of the notes in musical order, not their sounds.  

Answer 6

don't think so....

You could say in that case if photographic memory is possible so is special effects

therefor "BEAM ME UP SCOTTIE"  :~}

Answer 7

i think so...

Answer 8

we all have both, and its scientifically proved, but the abilities are different as an example a high quality pen can wright 1400 meters while a cheap one can wright 900 meters  

Answer 9

It is. I have worked with two young men who have that ability. They are both blind and autistic and musically gifted.

Answer 10

In an abstract sense, I believe the answer is yes.

Folks who have perfect pitch (musically) actually have a sort of built-in mechanism that recognizes tone and pulse. There's more to perfect-pitch than people usually think...

Singing in tune or being able to pick up an instrument and play it aren't the only qualifiers; that's just being blessed with a good ear.

One with true perfect pitch can be asked to sing a note ... let's say a "middle C" ... and without any accompaniment, be able to produce a perfect middle C --- from 'memory'.  

That's pretty much 'memory sound recording' if you ask me.

Or have I completely misunderstood your question?
