The film Taare Zameen Par (Stars upon the Ground) portrays the tormented life at school and at home of a child with dyslexia and his eventual success after his artistic talents are discovered by his art teacher at the boarding school. The film hints at a curious neurocognitive phenomenon of creativity in the midst of language disability, as exemplified in the lives of people like Leonardo da Vinci and Albert Einstein, both of whom demonstrated extraordinary creativity even though they were probably affected with developmental learning disorders. It has been hypothesized that a developmental delay in the dominant hemisphere most likely 'disinhibits' the nondominant parietal lobe, unmasking talents-artistic or otherwise-in some such individuals. It has been suggested that, in remedial training, children with learning disorders be encouraged to develop such hidden talents to full capacity, rather than be subjected to the usual overemphasis on the correction of the disturbed coded symbol operations.
电影《地球上的星星》描绘了一个患有诵读困难症的孩子在学校和家中备受折磨的生活,以及他在寄宿学校被美术老师发现艺术天赋后最终取得的成功。这部电影暗示了在语言障碍中一种奇特的神经认知创造力现象,就像列奥纳多·达·芬奇和阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦这样的人,他们两人尽管可能患有发育性学习障碍,但都展现出了非凡的创造力。据推测,优势半球的发育延迟很可能会“解除”非优势顶叶的抑制,从而使一些这样的个体展现出艺术或其他方面的天赋。有人建议,在补救训练中,应鼓励患有学习障碍的儿童充分发挥这种隐藏的天赋,而不是像往常那样过度强调纠正受干扰的编码符号操作。
