Are photograpic memory and eidetic memory the same thing?

Answer:

My brother-in-law and his therapist claim that he (my brother-in-law) has an "eclectic memory". Is there such a phenomenon or are they confusing an "eidetic memory or a photgraphic memory" with the word eclectic? In addition, are an eidetic memory and a photographic memory one in the same phenomenon or are they separate entities that are often confused with one another? If they are separate entities, what makes them different frrom one another? Thanks!
