Thoughts on the possibility of perfect literary recall?

[Josh (Josh Cohen)]

Sorry, I didn’t see your post until now. There is a discussion about that over here: Regular girl can PERMANENTLY remember books VERBATIM in one reading

I tend to be skeptical of these claims, but who knows?

I sent this thread to a professor who specializes in memory research (actually, the guy who discovered HSAM), but he dismissed it outright, saying that it was impossible.

I am highly skeptical too. There needs to be more solid evidence. Until someone can perform this kind of feat under proper testing conditions, I will remain skeptical. There is a lot of prize money available (e.g., competitions) for anyone who can prove that they have photographic memory.
