Photographic memory, also known as eidetic memory, is the ability to vividly recall visual information or scenes after only a short exposure to them, similar to taking a mental picture. This ability is often seen in children, but is rare in adults. Therefore, Heidi's memory capacity can be best described as photographic memory.
