Do Photographs Diminish the Importance of Memory?

Read the passage.Camera-Like MemoryDo some individuals have the amazing ability to take perfectly accurate, permanent mental "snapshots," which can be stored in the brain for future retrieval? Fictional figures aside, no. But while this popular notion of "photographic memory" is unfounded, research has demonstrated the existence of a fascinating phenomenon called eidetic memory, in which memory actually does have a camera-like quality. People with eidetic memory are able to look at an object or picture and then look away or close their eyes and continue to "see" the object or picture in their minds. These images last only a few minutes at most before dissipating, and they are typically not entirely accurate. Still, the degree of detail that "eidetikers" can recall during those first few minutes is astonishing. Interestingly, the phenomenon occurs almost entirely in children, with an estimated two to ten percent of children affected; virtually all eidetikers lose their unusual ability before reaching adulthood.What is the main, or central, idea of the passage?An eidetic memory can occur after a person closes his or her eyes or looks away from an object.Individuals with eidetic memory are temporarily able to retain detailed images in their minds.Nearly all individuals with eidetic memory are children.Submit

According to Edmond et al. (2017) all of the following are true regarding human perception and memory except:Group of answer choicesOur impression of the world is the result of an interpretive process, and depends on our attention, prior beliefs, expectations, experiences and knowledge.Despite our best intentions, memory often fails without awareness.Human perception is like a video camera.Many factors affect memory.Forensic scientists should use documentation and empirical information rather than rely on memory or impressions.

A psychiatrist performing a mental exam shows a list of 10 unrelated images to a patient and asks the patient to memorize them. The exam continues, and a few minutes later the psychiatrist requests that the patient describe as many images as they can recall. If most of the remembered images come from the beginning and end of the list, this would be considered an example of the: I. recency effect.II. serial position effect.III. cognitive bias effect. A.I onlyB.I and II onlyC.II and III onlyD.I, II, and III
