Variance in Eidetic Memory

All of the research over the years has shown a definite correlationbetween eidetic memory and age. Eidetic memory tends to appear inchildren much more frequently than in adults and many recent researchershave been trying to understand this supposedly negative correlation. Thepresent research was conducted by selecting files of individuals whomhad been administered the Comprehensive System Rorschach, theWRAT-III, and the K-BIT-2 or WAIS. The current study examines thecorrelation between reading level and form quality as measured by theComprehensive System Rorschach. The results were analyzed by usingthe Kendall's Tau correlation coefficient (r). The results indicated onlyone slightly significant negative correlation between reading level andform quality.
