Do I have a photographic memory?

My parents told me that when I was about 4 or something, I memorized the whole album of this Philippine singer called Jolina Magdangal just by listening to the whole thing about 3 times. Also they say I memorize TV commercials and everything they say in it. And like just like a few days ago, my dad recieved a CD of this band called the cascades and plays it on the car, after listening to it a few times, I memorized the whole thing. Do I have a photographic memory?

1. no photographic is when you see things and memorize it your hearing it =]
2. No; you are talking about auditory senses - not visual. You are probably talented with regards to music. Suggest you learn and instrument, try to learn to sing etc - you will probably be very good at it.
3. photographic memory is when you can remember something very clearly visually like you remember what a page says and you can picture it in your head
4. Um, no, photographic implies vision, not hearing. You just have a really good memory and probably good verbal skills. Oooh, weird, I have this old record of the Cascades sitting right here! I was looking it up on eBay to see if it was worth anything. Woo-OOO-ooo!
5. cant remember what the question was
6. Well, photographic memory refers to visual memory for the most part. I think that you're an audio learner- you do well with remembering the stuff you hear. People often have a best avenue of learning or combination of techniques (I learn by doing and seeing.)
