The article is devoted to the consideration of the mechanisms of the emergence of the eidetic image from the standpoint of system psychology, which allows us to offer a scientific interpretation of various forms and phenomena of eidetism based on a single theoretical basis. The purpose of the study is to describe the systemic unity of the formation of eidetic images under various conditions. From the point of view of systems psychology, an eidetic image is a holistic and stable image of perception or representation held in memory. This phenomenon should be considered as an information system with fixed, non-changing connections, the main difference of which is significantly greater than in the corresponding population norm, the saturation of the elements that make up this system (image). The emergence of an eidetic image is associated with a combination of various individual and personal characteristics, from the psychophysiological characteristics of the body, to the motivation and development of the emotional and volitional sphere of a person. A system-psychological analysis allows us to identify the following conditions for the formation of eidetic ability. The emergence of eidetic perception in childhood is caused by optimal development of the neurophysiological substrate of the psyche; less than an adult’s ability to form significant systemic connections in the formation of the image of perception; emotional lability of the child and the simplicity of developing an affective reaction in him to a relatively weak stimulus. The eidetism of a creatively gifted person is caused by the presence of innate extraordinary versative and ingenitive abilities; high index of social types of development motivation; experience of special emotional states when producing a creative product. The emergence of eidetism in mental illnesses is a consequence of a flash-like increase in the electrical activity of vast areas of the cortex and subcortical structures of the brain, providing a short-term generation of more nerve connections than it occurs during the normal brain operation. The formation of quasi-aesthetic images is the result of chemical exposure. The interpretation of eidetism from the point of view of systems psychology opens up a new perspective for understanding this important psychological phenomenon, and also opens up additional opportunities for explaining main problems of developmental psychology and pathopsychology.
