I had sort of a photographic memory, I think. It wasn't immediate after just glancing at something once--but if I read something carefully and concentrated on it, I could later visualize the page clearly. This did not help at all with the lack of academic challenge and developing study skills. And as I got older I was always afraid of unintentionally plagiarizing. I do think that this particular skill? gift? has faded from lack of use. Or lack of sleep. Or both!
