I'm not sure. But as a child, I didn't understand what it meant to "study" for a test. Didn't you read the book? Just look at the book in your head! That sort of visual memory declined sharply after puberty. I was still pretty good at memorizing things; in high school, memorizing lines for drama productions. But that was nothing like the visual memory that I used to have. Almost certain that this isn't quite what is meant by photographic memory, but I wonder if what I experienced was anything at all related.

Me too, I remember how easy it was to remember stuff as a 9 or 10 year old. Math was a breeze. I didn't even have to write any of the problems out. I could just do it in my mind. Every thing just came easy. I don't know when but it certainly changed after I got to 7th grade. I'm sure part of it was the amount of information I was expected to remember but something changed on how easy it was to remember stuff.
