According to / “Short-term memory has a fairly limited capacity it can hold about seven items for no more than 20 or 30 seconds at a time.” Image Source : /photographic-and-eidetic-memory/Ĭontrary to Beasley’s statement, current scientific consensus says the length of time any memory stays in short-term is 20 to 30 seconds. However, in the case of an eidetic memory “ the information is relayed to the short-term memory banks for storage, allowing it to be recalled for days, weeks, or months when it will be discarded or relayed to long-term memory ,” according to Nicoleīasley writing for /advice/memory/.
