Language shares neural prerequisites with non-verbal capacities
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2003
Abstract:
Based on neuropsychological evidence of nonverbal impairment accompanying aphasia, I propose that the neural prerequisites for language acquisition are shared with a range of nonverbal capacities. Their commonality concerns the ability to recognize a limited number of finite elements in manifold perceptual entities and to combine them for constructing manifold entities.
