The Photographic Memory …

ZOX Pro Training has been teaching people how to use their photographic memory since 1975. The parent organization, Educom, Inc., has  been teaching the Mental Photography techniques in Brain Management training since the beginning. We released ZOX Pro Training onto the Internet in 2008. People around the world have benefited that would have never had access to our training otherwise.

The Picture …

The Google.com search pictured above is a snapshot of ZOX Pro Training’s unique place in the industry of alternative learning. Our techniques accelerate learning to all new levels that most people find incredible, starting at 25,000 words per minute. The brain exercises taught within the training strengthen your brain, gaining clarity, and the way it functions naturally by way of what is now referred to as neural-plasticity.

This picture signifies recognition by the Internet, and portrays the quality Richard Welch, the “Father of Mental Photography” had envisioned 39 years earlier.

The Eidetic Memory …

People are often confused by the difference between the eidetic memory and the photographic memory (eidetic memory vs photographic memory). You are born with the eidetic memory. This is how you learn everything when you are very young till around the age of 5. When you are born, you are a genius; an information sponge absorbing information faster than light speed, naturally, and with ALL of your senses. The best thing is you never lose your eidetic memory and the abilities it gives you. Most people are taught out of using it fluently.

The first recorded use of the words “photographic memory” is 1924. But we also know there are plenty of people from history before that time that demonstrate these abilities. Why then do many psychologists find the term so easy to discredit? First, and probably most importantly, the word “photographic” only refers to the visual sense, while “eidetic” refers to ALL of your senses. How silly! Someone was not able to remember the technical term “eidetic memory” so they simply made up a word close to the same meaning – the “photographic memory”.

Since the amount of information your brain takes in from vision is over ten times that of all of your other senses combined, it could easily be used as a relevant exchange word. But the carryover to this day has missed the original meaning, which is relevant to all of your senses. So, now when the psychologists and brain researchers are looking for the people with photographic memory, they are looking at a flawed model of what it is meant to actually represent.

So, in more concise terms, the word “photographic memory” does not exist. We use the word photographic memory for our services because that is what the rest of the world is commonly using, albeit improperly. There are many scholars that study how words within languages have changed over time. Often times, a process like this creates a new word or usage.

Thanks!

We would like to thank you, the person that enjoys getting news on the further applications and developments of our trainings. We encourage every one of you to power-up your brain, and make it your best asset for your future.

The Photographic Memory :: Myth, Legend, Fact or Fiction

The Photographic Memory

the Truth is Out There…

Brain Mind Photographic Eidetic Memory

What exactly is the “photographic memory”?

 

The elusive photographic memory; ever experienced it? Chances are you may have come across it in grandiose Hollywood films and television shows. Furthermore, the photographic memory is expressed in such a way that it seems both superhuman and abnormal!

The apex of the photographic memory experience has been portrayed accurately by characters such as:

  • Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory”
  • Will Hunting from Good Will Hunting
  • Mike Ross from Suits

…and many more

You know, writers may be writing for fiction but they are heavily influenced by real life events that shape their work. They also have the power to release material that is inaccurate; only to be aired. Not only is the photographic memory, itself, is one of those real life events its also one of those inaccuracies that writers write about!

Believe it or not….The phenomenon that looks to good to be true…is indeed true. Even worst, the name ‘photographic’ itself is wrong. At best, it’s inaccurate, and at worst it is deceptive.

The actual, technical and medical term for it is…the Eidetic Memory.

 

Photographic Memory vs. Eidetic Memory

 

Despite two different names, if there is a correct term for this real and amazing memory then why on earth is it expressed wrong?

The answer lies with people’s personal experiences with visual learning, i.e. seeing and absorbing information via their eyes. Considering that permanent and verbatim recall of information is a classic function of eidetic memory, the ‘photographic’ metaphor was created as to identify with that type of flawless recall and the name stuck.

In both real and scientific terms, the eidetic memory does not rely upon visual input but uses the remaining senses of the human body as well.

Therefore the term ‘photographic’ is used interchangeably but loosely.

 

The Scientific view?

 

The typical view in mainstream science is that it does not exist at all and it is a myth. Take for example, Joshua Foer’s article in the magazine, Slate, he promotes the myth theory by downplaying past examples of people but without citing any evidence that that perpetuates his views. (slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2006/04/kaavya_syndrome.2.html)

One of those is exceptional people is Stephen Wiltshire, an autistic artist  with a vivid photographic memory, that accurately draws stunning city landscapes purely from memory alone. The accuracy in his illustrations is flawless he has been awarded an MBE for his works. (dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1223790/Autistic-artist-draws-18ft-picture-New-York-skyline-memory.html)

Such feats do not lie only with Autism. Recently, an ordinary policeman featured on the news used his ‘photographic’ memory to identify and capture hundreds of criminals over the last five years purely from memorizing them from faces on wanted posters. (huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/29/andy-pope-photographic-memory-pcso_n_3519213.html)

Many stories like those above provide a basis that the eidetic memory does indeed exist, contradicting many of the standard scientific views.

Psychologists wrestle with this subject in the laboratory and have established the existence of Eidetic Imagery (EI), in which they conclude that some people, mainly children, have this ability. The after-image of something they have seen is embedded, or retained, with vivid detail like an image in their minds. (theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/jan/14/truth-about-memories-jarrett)

 

You have this power too

 

Everybody of all ages and abilities has access to this extraordinary memory. Perhaps it is not as rare as you, or I, have been led to believe.

Let me briefly tell you a story that occurred about a month ago. A customer came in to my work and I was talking about the photographic memory. She overheard me and commented about recall ability and reading speed of her daughter-in-law and how she “completes degree after degree!” I was astonished!

Most people would say “Well that’s OK for her. But I can’t do it, it is impossible!” The good news is we all have this ability and therefore we can all tap into it and use its unlimited resources. Now that is great!

Unfortunately, when we all started school from age 5 we were programmed out of using this ability and were taught the rote-memory system of learning which uses reading as its vehicle.

Reading uses a short-term memory system and we quickly forget almost everything that we were taught and had to learn by repeatedly revising or ‘cramming’ to absorb it all. Not good… It is a huge waste of time.

 

There is a Silver Lining – The keys to unlimited success are yours

 

But don’t worry, there is a long-term memory system out now that can reconnect you to those eidetic abilities that you lost as a child along with allows you to absorb extreme amounts of information at lightning quick speeds!

The method is called Mental Photography, also known as ZOXing. It has been around for over 35 years, and has helped thousands of people tap into their innate, photographic memory and become eidetickers again as well as ZOXers!

Years of independent scientific research; supports the existence of your eidetic memory and proves that anyone can learn at astounding speeds accompanied with a memory that can recall and retain all needed information at will, just like those Hollywood characters I mentioned earlier!

Richard Welch, the Father of Mental Photography said, “The brain, the brain, the brain. The more we learn about the brain, the more we realize how little we really know about it.” His statement is still correct today. If scientists knew everything there is to know about the brain, then there would be no question whether the photographic memory exists; or if it is myth, legend, fact or fiction.

For scientists to subscribe to scientific principle, and then proclaim the photographic memory does not exist is professional heresy. Or does the existence of the photographic memory fill them with so much fear; they dare to cross the line of professional integrity.

Mental Photography for Students

Mental Photography techniques for students allows students of all ages to benefit through the increase in brain power. What you need is a tool to clear your mind to allow you to focus on your goal.

How Long We Study Has Nothing to Do with Success

As students, we are told that if we get good grades, then the good life will follow. We are told that to achieve good grades, we should study three to four hours for every hour we spend in class. But what if you could get better grades with less study time? What if you could cut your study time to a mere fraction of what would otherwise be required?

Is Formal Education Counterintuitive to a Photographic Memory?

Your mind is capable of assimilating information at gigahertz range – but there is something getting in the way of our learning. Ironically, the blockage is reading.  Reading constricts the flow of information to our brain, thus weakening our capacity on how to use Mental Photography. For many students, the education process and study is an impediment to their social lives and having fun.  What can be done to change that sad fact?

You Can Learn to Learn Naturally!

You can reactivate your Photographic or Eidetic memory. Here is how to develop photographic memory? Actually, your photographic memory is still active – you’ve just forgotten how to access it.  Once you regain access to your Photographic Memory, it will propel you as far as you want to go.  The act of performing Mental Photography for students exercises the brain in phenomenal ways, including your naturally occurring photographic memory.

Some people may claim that when students use Mental Photography on how to pass tests it is cheating. Of course it is NOT. Using your natural abilities to assimilate and recall information isn’t cheating – it’s your Ultimate Edge.

Self-Developmentitus – Losing Your Effectiveness?

Developmentitus affecting you?

Self-Developmentitus – prevent yourself from suffering.

Self-Developmentitus is Affecting your Life

Some people can lose their effectiveness (Developmentitus) while pursuing the “better me” within. Determine what you want in life. Difficulties and obstacles will make it more challenging, but should not deter you from pursuing your goals or losing your effectiveness.
We are here to help you. ZOX Pro Training and Brain Management will help you over obstacles so that you may ultimately get what you want in life. Remember this: ZOX Pro supports people who are pursuing their passion and those who are pursuing their passion, their destiny and more.

Our training is easy used to learn and supports any other training or mind discipline. It is a unique training system designed to interact with other trainings. It is not complex or hidden. The exercises are clear, making it simple to learn and understand. Mental Photography (ZOXing) is the first way we learn everything. Is is the natural way you was born with.

When you are at work, do you get frustrated because things don’t seem to be happening the way you expect them to (developmentitus)? You see people milling around but nothing gets accomplished. And in the daily hustle and bustle, do you feel that your goals remain just that –procrastinated goals. Then maybe it’s time for you to stand up and do something about it.

Since Mental Photography is the first way we learn everything via the eidetic memory (commonly known as the photographic memory), it is the basis of all learning; the benchmark.  So no mater what it is you want to learn, if you want to learn it better and easier, use Mental Photography. Mental Photography is the natural way to learn.

An issue that frequently inhibits the ability for people to learn is people using more than one training at the same time while learning another. I realize that many people would find a way to justify that course of action.  Allow me to provide you a scenario:

Scenario 1: A person is taking a speed reading course, a mega-speed reading course, and is asking about doing Mental Photography at the same time. I am NOT going to recommend that action. Here is why:

a.    The person cannot tell where there results are coming from.  This creates confusion to what is working and what is not.

b.    The person may have conflicting information coming from different trainings.  Again, this only adds to the confusion.

c.    ZOX Pro Training (Mental Photography) in this case is definitely a superior product because of the level of training the person receives.  Remember, ZOX Pro Training is actually a “mental discipline” – developmentitus. We approach things very differently with our trainings.  We help people make huge gains by helping them change the way they perceive how learning works, or in some cases how it doesn’t work.

You must also remember that good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their natural skills (Mental Photography). This takes a commitment to constantly improve in whatever endeavor a person chooses.

Leadership starts with you. The best way to develop leadership (self-developmentitus) qualities is to apply it to your own life. As an adage goes “action speaks louder than words.” Leaders are always in the limelight. Keep in mind that your credibility as a leader depends much on your actions: your interaction with your family, friends, and co-workers; your way of managing your personal and organizational responsibilities; and even the way you talk with the newspaper vendor across the street. Repeated actions become habits. Habits in turn form a person’s character.

Lose Your Effectiveness (Developmentitus) – Multiple Trainings Cause Confusion

This can easily confuse people that are involved with other trainings that teach things differently than what we teach you.  We want everyone to have results.  We have geared ZOX Pro Training to develop you, as well as our other trainings, for results.  You may be inhibiting your results by mixed signals from other trainings.  If this is happening to you, don’t panic.  Again, after you learn our methods, you can apply ZOX Pro Training to all the other trainings afterwards, making them easier than ever.

Scenario 2: You have a vocabulary builder, a memory enhancer, speed reading, a meditation schedule, lists of affirmations stuck up everywhere you look, a daily organizer that is meant to keep track of it all (but you never have time to look at it). And so on, and so on…

All these techniques may be good and work as separate devices. But when you put them all together, you find that your life becomes so cluttered, you cannot tell what, if anything, is happening to create that positive development  in life you want.

People seem to have the misconception that only a select few are able to unleash a steady flow of creative genius. That is not true at all. The fact is, creativity is very much like a muscle that needs to be exercised in order to consistently give out great results. If you don’t practice harnessing creative thinking, this skill will very much atrophy into nonexistence. But keep working and this focused action (Photographic Memory) will soon come to you in a snap.

 

Developmentitus

ZOX Pro – Developmentitus

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Stop doing other trainings while you are learning ZOX Pro Training.  This will give you the best opportunity to really FOCUS on one training instead of the many things that waste your time, confuse you, and inhibit your results causing developmentitus.

When you create results from your focused action, you will easily see where they have come from – without question.

KEEP IN MIND – Developmentitus – Mind Discipline

Since ZOX Pro Training is a mind discipline, it will affect ALL areas of your life.  So don’t limit yourself by only looking for results in the information area.  There are so many other areas of life you need to work on.  Look for success in family, relationships, health, wealth, work, prestige, decreasing stress, vocabulary and languages, creativity, decision making, athletic ability and sports, just to point out a few.

So, if you want to prevent yourself from suffering Self-Developmentitus, here is what to do:  (WARNING: Joke Ahead) Take 2 ZOX Pro Trainings, give one to a friend, and DON’T call me in the morning.  (You should be too busy making a great life for yourself.)

Developmentitus – “All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual”. Albert Einstein
