Some people have perfect memory, which means they remember almost every detail from their past. It's like having a camera in your brain that takes pictures of everything you see and hear, and it never deletes the photos. This happens because their brains work differently, especially a part called the hippocampus.
Examples
- A girl remembers what she wore on her first day of school ten years ago.
- A boy knows exactly what he said during a conversation from last year.
- A person can recall every detail of a birthday party that happened five years ago.
