The savant syndrome: the phenomenal cognition Albeit the crux of the savant skill has not yet been identified (Miller 1999), precedents of savant skills comprise phenomenal musical ability, drawing, calculation, foreign language learning, spatial skills, and calendric calculation (Neumann et al.
, 2010; Miller 1999,). The aforementioned skills can be associated into categories of operative skills, perceptual, and association. Perceptual skills include musical tone and perspective illustrations. Mapping and association skills include calendrical calculation and acquisition of language. Operative skills include music composition, recognition of unknown prime numbers, and construction of three dimensional structures (Soulieres, et al., 2010).

A hypermnesic model suggests savant skills are usually existing or dormant cognitive functions in memory (Neumann et al., 2010); the interaction between different brain area, and the enhanced local connectivity of the brain regions or paradoxical functional facilitation (Hughes 2009).
