Observations on a visually preoccupied child

Abstract

The author reports her observations on a four-year-old boy because of their interesting aspects from three different angles: (1) a rapid rise in I.Q. from 100 to 135 due to stimulating the child; (2) the presence of what appeared to be what is now called "eidetic" imagery; and (3) concurrent with such imagery, as cause or effect, a preoccupation with visual details accompanied by extraordinary proficiency in certain performance tests.
