| Introduction | Left of the Blue Wall A mouse was put into a rectangular room with four white walls. A treat was hidden in a corner as the mouse watched. Then, Ms. Mouse was spun around a few times (I know the feeling) and dropped in. Half of the time, the critter went to the wrong corner searching for the treat. Then researchers painted one of the walls blue and did the same treat-hiding. Did the task of the mouse get easier? Hah, half of the time, the mouse STILL went the wrong direction! Researchers concluded that the mouse couldn't connect the ideas of both "left" and "blue wall." Same thing for us. Not until about age six can humans connect ideas in spatial language and think “left of the blue wall.” So I see that language is not only communication with others, it's communication within our single mind. Words are more than words, they can form our reality. |
