Term

Eidetism is the ability of a person to form a very vivid image of something he has just seen or heard. It occurs in artists and children.[1] In cognitive psychology, special images are used, after viewing which a person looks, for example, at a white wall and the motif from the image appears on it (Greek eidon means seen) [2] in this case, it is a pseudo-illusion .
