Meet Kim Peek, a savant with photographic memory. He reads and remember 98% of the content. Do you know both his eyes read different page?? As in, left eye reads page on the left of a book, and right eye reads right page! Holy cow!!
I caught this on Astro channel 50 last night. Wow! He practically remembers everything he read. The documentary showed interviewers asking questions like, what day was May 3rd, 1927. And he responded accurately within 2 seconds. Talk about geniuses!
However, he has difficulty in ordinary motor skill such as trying up shoe lace, button up his clothes.
Catch Rain Man, played by Dustin Hoffman, portraying savants like Kim Peek.
Otherwise, catch this video on google:
