Using the case study of "Eddie" as his framework, Professor Miller
challenges the prevailing notion that musical savants are
essentially phenomenal tape recorders and deals with the issue of
"idiot savants" in a detailed, empirical investigation. Through
"Eddie" the author discusses, in specific and in general, topics
including the background and historical context of musical savants;
other cases; data regarding the nature of the skills exhibited and
the associated developmental deficits; and descriptions of a series
of experiments used to define Eddie's talent. Finally, the author
considers more general issues raised by savant behavior,
particularly functions served by savant behavior, theories
regarding its etiology, and its role in general development.
