    天才青年 - Daniel Temmet

    能把圆周率背到小数点后2万位,能够在一星期内学会一门语言(目前共掌握了八门语言),能够在数秒内计算完成5个两位数的连乘,能够推算出任何一个日子是星期几...这种天才,在英文里叫savant, 意即懂得很多的大才。跟雨人的原型、集天才和白痴于一身的Kim Peek不同,Daniel没有自闭症。而且,他还能清楚地描述自己的思维过程。数字在他眼里,就是一个个有形状,会运动,有声音,有颜色的物体。他的计算和记忆过程都是形象记忆。

    这儿有CCTV介绍他的视频,有兴趣同学可以到他的主页博客去看看。


    这儿,我怀疑人到底有没有真正的逻辑思维能力?人的逻辑思维归根结底是不是都是无意识的形象思维?也就是说,人在思维抽象问题和逻辑问题时,已经无意识地把抽象概念和逻辑概念映射到某种形象的结构上,然后通过结构的变换,来完成逻辑演算。这个过程都是在潜意识里发生的,所以大部分人根本意识不到。而Daniel这样的怪才不知道是大脑的哪根筋搭错了,把这些内部的形像思维又映射到了感觉神经元上,使得他能够清楚地看到或听到自己的思维过程,从而能够轻而易举地参与到复杂的思维过程当中来。这样,他的大脑就变成了一台生物电脑。事实上,Kim Peek就被人称为Kimputer,因为他能记住自己看到过的几乎所有东西,虽然他不能对这些东西做深入理解。
