We acquired large data sets of calendar performance from two autistic calendar savants, DG and RN. An analysis of their errors and reaction times revealed that (1) both individuals had knowledge of calendar information from a limited range of years; (2) there was no evidence for the use of memorized anchor dates that could, by virtue of counting away from the anchors, allow correct responses to questions about other dates; and (3) the two individuals differed in their calendar knowledge, as well as in their ability to perform secondary tasks in which calendar knowledge was assessed indirectly. In view of the fact that there are only 14 possible annual calendars, we suggest that both savants worked by memorizing these 14 possible calendar arrangements.
我们从两位自闭症日历学者DG和RN那里获取了大量的日历表现数据集。对他们的错误和反应时间进行分析后发现：（1）两人都只掌握有限年份范围内的日历信息；（2）没有证据表明他们使用了记忆中的锚定日期，通过从这些锚定日期开始计数来正确回答关于其他日期的问题；（3）两人在日历知识以及执行间接评估日历知识的次要任务的能力方面存在差异。鉴于只有14种可能的年度日历，我们认为这两位学者都是通过记忆这14种可能的日历安排来工作的。
