Vygotsky about eidetic memory
Vygotsky proposed that eidetic imagery is an elementary mental function, meaning that
it is innate. These elementary mental functions are then augmented and transformed into
what he refers to as higher psychological functions. In the case of eidetic imagery,
higher psychological function would constitute using organizational principles and
vocabulary to aid memory instead of images. This idea of development leading away from the
use of eidetic imagery is found in S. M. Kosslyn's attempt to explain the negative
correlation between imagery and age.
Kosslyn proposes that adults are capable of encoding
information using words, but children are not capable of this because they do have not
fully developed their verbal abilities. This theory suggests then that as young eidetic
grow up their abilities should decline or even become non-existent. There is not much
evidence for or against this theory.
It would be interesting to observe a group of
children over the course of their lives to see if their ability to form eidetic imagery
decreases. Haber indicates that naming interrupts eidetic imagery formation even in young
eidetic.
