As a memory researcher, I'd be interested in conducting case studies on such superior (not perfect) recall. In particular, I'd like to examine relational memory under incidental encoding conditions with materials not easily verbalized with relations that are arbitrary. hat is, I am interested whether their hippocampal dependent memory is superior, and/or whether it depends mostly on extrahippocampal processes such as semantic-based organizational mnemonics.

Do you have an example of something like that?

  I'm not sure what you mean exactly. If you mean what kind of paradigm may be used to try to get performance to inordinately depend on hippocampally-mediated binding processes? See Konkel and Cohen, 2008 Hippocampal amnesia impairs all manner of relational memory or my own paper, Lee et al 2016: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4733390/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4733390/ ..although these were not under incidental encoding.

These tend to impede organizational encoding or retrieval strategies. Not impossible, but harder. You might be able to tag a color, but after seeing a few dozen, that is hard.

        Interesting. Thanks for the examples, those do seem challenging. I suspect I'd do astoundingly well on that test in the medium to long term, at least compared to population norms, and quite abysmal in the very short and short term without time to process and encode the memories.
