Astonishing Aptitudes Which Go Hand In

Astonishing Aptitudes Which Go Hand In
Hand WIKI Defective Brains.
DR.. Frederick Peterson discusses in
the last number very astonishing
special aptitudes exhibited by many
idiots who have become notable az
mutual prodigiss," lightning calcu-
lators." and the like. BE designates
them in the title Of his paper as Idiot.
Savants." and shows that their peculiar
powers, due chiefly to extraordinary
memory. visual or auditory, and facility
in imitation. go with the lowest order
of general intellectual ability, marking
the congenitively defective and the de,
generate.
OF course, a notable example of such
special aptitude is Blind Tom," the
Georgia musical prodigy" He was
born blind and his intelligence was con.
fined to sound. He learned 10 repeat
words readily, but they had no meaning
to him. his spontaneous language, nc
cording to DIR. Peterson, being little
more than inarticuIate sounds. His
musical faculty was purely initiative. He
could initiate any sound and play on
the piano from memory any piece OF
music, no matter how intricate, note
for note. after hearing il but once"
All classes of idiots are peculiarly
susceptible to rhythmical sounds, and
hence musical aptitude in them is not
50 astonishing as the mathematical
This arithmetical faculty, due TO n
phenomenal memory and to imitation,
has been displayed chiefly in an aston
ishing power of reckoning or Of calcu-
lating only.
Tom Fuller, a Virginia lightning
calculator" of the last century, was
On ulerate native African Of prodi-
gious power Of calculation. Asked how
many seconds'in a year and half, he
responded in two minutes, $500 900;
how many seconds man had lived who
was 20 years, II days, IL hours old, he
answered In q minute and half, 2,21o,-
500,s00.
AS striking example of remarkable
artistic faculty in an idiot. DR.. Peter
son refers to the case Of Godfried Mind,
an imbecile, who died in 1914, and many
of the examples of whose paintings are
in European art galleries. He achieved
distinction in the drawing and painting
of cats and became known as the cats
Raphael. I~
In all the cases of special aptitudes in
idiots, strongly as these stand ont IN
contrast to their general feeble-minded-
ness, there is no originality, no power
Of invention or spontaneity. 1t is all
mere Imitation, mere memory. "The
idiots savants," says DR.. Peterson, "are
mere copyists in music, modelling, de-
signing or painting" and "as q rule,
the aptitudes are precociously de-
veloped and are frequently lost before
reaching adult life."-Popular Science
Monthly.
