A comparison was made of 25 institutionalized idiots savants and a control group of institutionalized retarded persons matched for age, sex, IQ, and length of institutionalization. As a group, idiots savants were found to be somewhat more disturbed and disturbing than their peers, although they did not show extreme emotional disturbance nor reflect a clear behavioral profile.
对25名机构收容的白痴学者与一组在年龄、性别、智商和收容时长方面相匹配的机构收容智障者进行了比较。结果发现,作为一个群体,白痴学者比他们的同龄人更易出现精神障碍且更具干扰性,尽管他们并未表现出极端的情绪障碍,也没有呈现出清晰的行为模式。
