    Shit think I have this! I too can do that, and my earliest memory is from when I was 6 months old. Yes I can pull them up with great details. But to ask the same questions how can I know if it totally real or my imagination filling in the details? Guess we can’t know but I can pull up great details of all of my childhood. The bad and the good so really sucks remembering everything with that much detail.

      You should contact some of those researchers. There’s only a couple hundred people with this characteristic, they might have a survey or interview for you. It’s a pretty interesting cognitive ability to study, it’ll probably lead to some insights into human cognition in general.
