一些智障人士能够解决困难的日历日期问题,例如为特定日期指定星期几,有时跨越100多年。这些人是自学成才的,根本不遵循类似于通常的程序,出版,算法。对一个人的调查显示,他保留了相当多的关于特定月份的日子结构的信息,可能是视觉图像。他的技能密切依赖于程度和形式,他的知识日历,他的错误往往是缺乏知识的后果,对一个特定的时间段。智力迟钝的人谁执行日历日期壮举往往是社会退缩,并把相当长的时间日历日期。最有能力的日历日期计算器通常是那些对日历有浓厚兴趣的人。
A number of mentally handicapped individuals are able to solve difficult calendar date problems such as specifying the day of the week for a particular date, sometimes over spans of more than 100 years. These individuals are self-taught and do not follow procedures at all similar to the usual, published, algorithms. An investigation of one individual revealed that he retained considerable information about the structure of days in particular months, probably as visual images. His skill closely depended on the extent and form of his knowledge of calendars, and his errors were often a consequence of lack of knowledge about a particular time period. Mentally retarded individuals who perform calendar-date feats are often socially withdrawn and devote considerable periods of time to calendar dates. The most capable calendar-date calculators are usually individuals who have a strong interest in calendars as such.
