Fragments of Genius: Investigating the Strange Feats of "Idiots Savants" Book
This text provides an account of "idiots savants" - those remarkable individuals who are simultaneously retarded yet capable of quite extraordinary achievements. Their talents include outstanding artistic and musical achievement, mental arithmetic at incredible speed, and calendar calculating, involving extremely difficult questions about calendar dates. Michael Howe's findings encourage the reader to reconsider existing views about the manner in which human skills are organized and contradicts the widely accepted belief that a person's different abilities are interdependent and centrally controlled.Read More
