And without experience also development of humanity is impossible. Allocate different types and types of memory, and here it is worth talking about the last in more detail.

In the history there are many examples as many famous writers and musicians which Mozart, Glazunov, Aksakov treat, could reproduce the heard pieces of music, verses and stories;
- visual which also, as well as acoustical, is observed at a small part of people. This category to which artists most often belong can transfer once seen picture, a landscape, a plot, etc. to a cloth;

Mark out category of the people having so-called eydetichesky memory. Such people can reproduce the images which are result of excitement of sense organs external irritants in memory. That is the person does not see a subject, but can describe so in details it how it is not subject to another, with less developed eydetichesky memory. Here such various types of memory happen and sometimes it is even surprising how the nature compensates and replaces missing types at the blind people deaf, etc.
