How to test for photographic memory in children?

Q. I think my 5 yr old may have a photographic memory, how can i test this at home?

A. To check for it make a list of 10 numbers or words and read it to the child 2 or 3 times. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes and see if the child can repeat them in order. If the child can read at all make the list written down and let the child read through it a few times.

Make the list longer if the child gets through the test.
