雖然有點舊 是12月的SA 不過我覺得他跟吃了小叮噹的"記憶麵包"一樣 @@ Inside the Mind of a Savant Kim Peek possesses one of the most extraordinary memories ever recorded. Until we can explain his abilities, we cannot pretend to understand human cognition. By Darold A. Treffert and Daniel D. Christensen When J. Langdon Down first described savant syndrome in 1887, coining its name and noting its association with astounding powers of memory, he cited a patient who could recite Edward Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire verbatim. Since then, in almost all cases, savant memory has been linked to a specific domain, such as music, art or mathematics. But phenomenal memory is itself the skill in a 54-year-old man named Kim Peek. His friends call him "Kim-puter." He can, indeed, pull a fact from his mental library as fast as a search engine can mine the Internet. He read Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October in one hour and 25 minutes. Four months later, when asked, he gave the name of the Russian radio operator in the book, referring to the page describing the character and quoting several passages verbatim. Kim began memorizing books at the age of 18 months, as they were read to him. He has learned 9,000 books by heart so far. He reads a page in eight to 10 seconds and places the memorized book upside down on the shelf to signify that it is now on his mental "hard drive."... 好像沒辦法轉全文 需要subscribe XD http://0rz.net/ae0YY -- If you look down, they know you are lying.
