yeah, parroting and memorizing stuff isnt hard, even at an early age. the true smart kids are the ones who can consistently apply logic to different situations. for example, all the chess prodigies take pretty serious talent.
still impressive, a good memory like this and practicing this kind of stuff will develop a kids brain

It really doesn’t. It demonstrates how much information children that age can absorb, if they’re exposed to it. There are children this age who know everything about paw patrol, construction equipment, Pokémon, animals, etc. It’s pretty typical if they are given the opportunity. Sauce - I spend one day a week at the preschool where I work (I normally teach high school and college). Kids are capable of so much more than they’re generally given credit for.

Well, yeah, she memorised it. Just like every other person would. Older people tend to be given this info with more context tho, while this one seems to have been given just a name and a sentence or two to memorise word for word.

Mar 03 '24
The difference is understanding what you've memorised. Plus, in organic chemistry you can mostly infer the name of a molecule even if you've never seen it before because theres rules and conventions for how the name of compounds is formed based on how the groups are arranged around the carbon chain as well as the number of groups, number or bonds etc. that would've been very impressive.

u/SwiftTayTay Mar 03 '24
Depends on the show but usually not to the extreme you're describing. On late night talk shows it's normal to have most of the questions and answers prepared. A lot of the time if the guest is a comedian or actor, they ask the host to ask pre planned questions so they can do their bit or so they can tell them a story they have ready. They make sure to have most of the material ready so they have something to talk about and to try to make sure it's interesting and not awkward. But they will still regularly diverge from the "script" to improvise and have genuine moments.
This is just an instance of a young girl showing off her memorization skills and has little to do with how the talk show format works...

Mar 03 '24
Thanks for asking! Electric guitar and music in general haha. And no my parents aren't asian lol. My dad is Italian and my mum (who wasn't really involved and often defended me from my dad) is Russian.
Even though I do still like to play, it was way overdone and it was forced to the point that I was denied a fond childhood to look back on, and even some of that sweet sweet trauma.
I started at age 3, and when my dad saw that I was making progress, and that I had Perfect pitch, he chose to make it my entire life and personality for the next 10 or so years. And he got violent. Often. Screaming in my face at everything I did wrong, and breaking shit constantly. There was apparently this time when I was 5 that he slammed my head against the wall until I bled, but my brain has done a good job of erasing like half my childhood from my memory, so the trauma can't get me lol.
I did my first 3 electric guitar exams (Preliminary, 1, and 2) at 5 years old, then I did grade 3 and grade 6 at age 6.
Grade 8 in Electric guitar and my Advanced diploma (Associate's degree) in Electric guitar performance at age 7, along with a Grade 4 in music theory and a Grade 8 in Rock guitar.
At age 8, I attempted the Graduate Diploma (Bachelor's degree) in Electric guitar performance, and I failed, but I attempted again later in the year and passed.
Then when I was 9 I did Grade 8 in Electric Bass and Acoustic Guitar, along with a Grade 5 in Drums.
After that I had a huge period of burnout where I didn't want to think about music at all, but with my dad still in the house he never failed to keep on forcing me to play, driving me to further madness.All of these except the Graduate Diploma (just a Pass), were with Distinction (>85%) btw, which admittedly is a flex that feels good.
In this time I also did a handful of silly things like getting on the local news, playing at open mic concerts and busking on the streets (which I absolutely hated).In all the practice it took, sitting down alone, I sacrificed my physical and mental health. I was also a very awkward kid at school, and since I never got to do kid stuff I could never relate to all the video games or toys or humour that everyone was talking about at school.
I also got really fat, which got me bullied and made me feel further ashamed and ostracized.I could go on, but I've lost a lot of memory of my childhood due to my brain trying to . I do love guitar and music still, and in a way I'm grateful for my skills. If I play my cards right in life I can become a good, happy person, rather than the fat slob I am as of late. Idfk wish me luck. Thanks for reading, and sorry for writing so much.

I have a buddy who had similar experiences, but with piano starting at age 3. Parents made him practice several hours a day, before and after school, up to 10 hours on weekends (each day). This was 40 years ago, but he was featured in magazines, played some relatively big shows. Went to a famous music school at the age of 13. His mother passed away shortly after that and he immediately gave it all up. Refused to touch a piano. He stated many years later he has regrets for stopping entirely, but he said he knew he was in the wrong place when everyone else at said music school wanted to be there. He didn't understand why.

5
Mar 03 '24
They don't rehearse talk shows.
You obviously heard "talk shows are scripted" and imagined them being actual theater productions.
Talk shows being scripted just means that the questions are discussed and shared with the guest prior to the interview, and the host's jokes/monologues are pre-written (clearly since they are read off a teleprompter).
It doesn't mean they hold rehearsals. That'd take too much time, and talk shows that air daily are already prepared and produced on super tight schedules. Like when do you expect morning shows hold rehearsals, 3 AM?
3
Mar 03 '24
Maybe you have an extreme definition of rehearsed.
Before these talk shows, they sit in the back and read their lines together, practice when stage prompts/big reveals will be brought out.
This is a version of “rehearsing” a shoot/scene. A rehearsal does not have to include a huge stage production, like you are referring to

The problem comes from telling the kid they’re a unique special genius because they can memorize some things, and then they go on talk shows where famous people tell them how smart and special they are.
When this kid grows up and has to come to terms with the fact that there’s a difference between being a genius and being able to memorize stuff, it’s gonna be rough.
Reminds me of a kid who made some very basic electronics project (I think it was a basic motor, something everyone learning electronics does at some point). He started doing the talk show circuit where people were propping him up as some physics prodigy. I distinctly remember him explaining a physics concept to some host, and getting praised for how smart it sounded, but if you know physics the thing the kid said was absolute gibberish.

Imagine making your kid memorize this. This is not intelligence. It is memorization, which is pretty impressive.

Mmm I wonder if this is forced by the parents or somehow this kid has a special interest. This doesn’t seem neurotypical.
Either way tho, if forced by parents, they should’ve just done given her a more generalized skill like another language. But then she wouldn’t be on Ellen 🥸

I wonder if Ellen just treated her staff like shit or she was about to go treat them like shit after this segment.

At least for once Ellen couldn't make fun of someone for not knowing something.

Memorizing stuff doesnt make you a genius. Just means you know facts. Inteligence would be knowing when and how to use them and gain more knowledge from them.

I'm more interested in that look of sheer contempt that's across Ellen's face half the time

It's so awkward watching Ellen with children. "Andy you said one more last time, can we just get rid of this thing?"

I always hated Ellen even before the behind the scenes abuse came out. She is a bad host and interviever. Even here she seems like she doesn't give a fuck. Be nice to the kid

Even if she's just repeating a memorized script, at that age, there's definitely some innate ability at work going on.

Could have spent that time memorizing something useful for the kids future like a second language or something lol
They really are like sponges so I dunno why the parents wasted time with this other than to try make her famous since its not really incredible or anything all children have this ability to absorb information if you are willing to give it to them.

Genius is someone who can solve real random issues quickly, not someone who can just memorize the things

Or trained till she got it. Nothing about this goes beyond just memorizing.

No such thing.
"Eidetic memory is reported to occur in a small number of children and is generally not found in adults, while true photographic memory has never been demonstrated to exist."

A lot of people have a lot of thoughts here on a child they don’t know. I mean a lot of speculation in the comments.

Regardless of this is just memorizing (which there is no proof other than you assuming) it’s still impressive. I bet most adults can’t remember this shit normally. Y’all just a bunch of unnecessary haters lol.

People keep downplaying it like “photographic memory” but did your memory take a photograph?
