For a psychology project, you decide to conduct research on people who have eidetic imagery. Before beginning your research, it must be cleared with your instructor as well as the Institutional Review Board (IRB)
What advice would your instructor give you concerning your project?
a) The frequency of eidetic imagery is quite low, so it will be difficult to find participants to take part in the proposed research.
b) An IRB is unlikely to approve a project on eidetic imagery because it is often associated with repressed memories of sexual abuse.
c) Psychologists have recently debunked the notion of eidetic imagery as another "new age" phenomenon with no empirical support.
d) Most people who have eidetic imagery find it very useful in their careers and are reluctant to share their experiences with others.
