largely over-exagerated if it exists at all--there is a nice paper by Luria
about a particular case study in which the man was basically nonfunctional
because all the memories intruded on everything else he did.
There is a whole (small) book by Luria, /The Mind of the Mnemonist/. I
think that it is quite interesting. The subject had synesthesia and
eidetic imagery would probably describe some of the things that he
reported. And, while I hate to talk about (shudder) case studies on
this list, Neisser's /Memory Observed/ has a couple that describe
eidetic imagery. The latest edition of the book has a second author but
I forget who it is.
