AP Psychology: Savants
A.) Savant Syndrome is “a condition in which a person otherwise limited in mental ability has an exceptional specific skill, such as computation or drawing”. In other words, someone who’s usually developed mentally disabled (such as autism) that has an extraordinary talent in some specific field. There haven’t been that many savants throughout history, but they all have some sort of amazing ability. Kim Peek, a savant who recently passed away, cannot even dress himself because of his mental retardation, yet he knows over 7,600 books by heart, and every area code, zip code, and TV station in the U.S. He knows the history of every president and country and he can recall 98% of the things he’s read in perfect detail.
