@futurebird @llewelly @shiri oh because if this thread, last night I went looking up that #Chomsky theory about the centrality of language to the development of human thought, and found this #ScientificAmerican article about how that theory has basically been disproven.

(Although I'm of course no developmental psychologist or language theorist and I wouldn't implicitly trust a #popscience publication)
