Children typically have better After and Eidetic Imagery than adults.
Here is how Vygotsky described it:
“Children under about 7 years of age seem to approach this task differently from adults in our culture. They appear to use eidetic imagery to keep track of things. They take a kind of 'mental snapshot' of the collection of items.
When you ask them to recall the objects they've looked at, they will often close their eyes, and you will see their eyes moving behind their eye-lids, as though they are looking at the image they have retained to see what objects are in which position. (Literate) adults use different strategy: we try and create a verbal list of the objects, and rehearse this to remember what was there.
The children are using 'elementary mental functions', the adults are not.” Vygotsky used eidetic imagery himself as he did have a photographic memory. The full quote is in the notes.
