''Echo and Memory. ''
1:00:39
That is the name of Dwight's theory.
1:00:42
Dwight is a psycholinguist who has done
remarkable research in the USA.

1:00:48
He suggests that their linguistic system is
an illusion.

1:00:52
Either they imitate the expressions
of the living...

1:00:55
to create a pattern that he calls the ''echo''...
1:01:01
or they remember expressions
they once used...

1:01:05
in certain everyday situations.
1:01:08
He calls that the ''memory. ''
1:01:10
Combined, they create an illusion
of normal behavior...

1:01:15
but, unfortunately,
these people are unlikely...

1:01:17
to develop normally.
1:01:25
In these conditions, of course...
1:01:27
we must approach reintegration differentIy.
1:01:32
The incapacity of the dead to innovate
excIudes them...

1:01:36
from aII positions of responsibiIity.
1:01:39
However, they can do tasks more adapted...
1:01:42
to their capacities...
1:01:44
if we take the time to train them properIy.
1:01:47
What does that mean?
Specific jobs for them?

1:01:52
The choice facing us...
1:01:55
is deciding to Ieave them inactive...
1:01:58
on the margins of society...
