Abstract
The visual eidetic image is a subjective visual phenomenon which assumes a perceptual character and, like the after-image, is when projected on a gray background or on the lid of the closed eye. It has almost hallucinatory clearness although it is not taken as having objective reality by the subject. It is a peculiarly vivid visual image seen with much detail. The subject is able to fuse into a total coherent pattern an eidetic image forming part of the pattern with details objectively present on the background on which the image is projected. The eidetic image has some of the characteristics of the after-image and of the memory-image. It is superior in clearness and richness of detail, continues longer in the visual field, requires shorter and less rigid fixation for its arousal than the afterimage. It is often subject to voluntary changes of content. The eidetic image is less easily and commonly aroused and less rich in detail than the memory-image.
